1800s Antique Persian Afshar Hand Knotted Rug - 3'7'' x 5'10''

Hand-knotted by the skilled nomadic Afshar tribes of southeastern Iran, this exquisite antique Persian rug exemplifies the exceptional artistry of tribal craftsmanship. Its vibrant field presents a captivating tapestry of angular rosettes, boteh motifs, and rhythmic geometric patterns with a composition that resonates with movement, showcasing the Afshar weavers’ instinctive harmony between structure and spontaneity.
Crafted from 100% hand-spun wool, the rug exhibits a natural luster that only authentic village weaving can offer. Its rich palette pulls from the revered traditions of Persian dyeing, featuring velvety navy, oxidized madder red, sun-washed ivory, and warm earth tones that pay homage to the dye practices of the Kerman region. An intricate multi-band border, adorned with stylized zoomorphic and tribal charms, elegantly frames the field, adding clarity and cultural significance while anchoring the design in Afshar identity.
This rug is more than a mere decorative piece; it embodies the rich artistry of Afshar village, celebrated for its resilient wool, detailed small-scale patterns, and vibrant colors that captivate. Its compact design and inviting warm tones make it the perfect centerpiece for a modern study, a chic entryway, or a carefully curated traditional room that craves added depth and character.
