About the Item
This antique Afshar Persian rug, woven by hand around 1920, is a true representation of the rich artistic heritage of the Afshar nomadic weavers of Persia. Measuring approximately 4.5 feet by 6 feet, this piece is the perfect size for a variety of spaces, whether as a striking centerpiece in a living room, a sophisticated accent in a study, or even as a unique wall hanging for collectors and enthusiasts of fine textiles.
The rug features a mesmerizing midnight blue field, a signature characteristic of high-quality Afshar weavings, serving as a deep and dramatic background for the intricate tribal motifs that repeat throughout the design. The dominant patterns are rendered in rich rust red, warm ochre, soft blues, and ivory, creating a visually dynamic contrast that enhances the rug’s depth and character. These geometric patterns, often inspired by nature and tribal symbolism, reflect the cultural storytelling embedded in Afshar weaving traditions.
The beautifully detailed border is another hallmark of this piece, showcasing a balance between floral and geometric motifs that frame the central field with precision and artistry. The intricacy of the design, coupled with the time-honored techniques used in its creation, makes this rug not only a functional floor covering but also a true work of art.
Crafted from handspun wool and dyed with natural vegetable dyes, this rug has aged gracefully, developing a rich patina that enhances its authenticity and charm. The tight knotting and fine weave are testaments to the exceptional skill of the Afshar artisans, ensuring both durability and a luxuriously soft pile underfoot. Despite being over 100 years old, this rug remains in remarkable condition, with its colors retaining their vibrancy and the pile maintaining its integrity.
This rug is not just a decorative piece; it is an investment in history and craftsmanship. Afshar rugs are highly sought after for their unique blend of tribal and classical Persian influences, making them valuable additions to both antique and contemporary interiors. Whether you are an avid collector, a lover of vintage décor, or simply someone who appreciates the timeless beauty of handmade textiles, this rare and exquisite Afshar rug is a piece that will bring warmth, character, and sophistication to any home.
