Antique Afshar Rug with Blue and Red Tones and a Majestic Medallion

About the Item

In 1900, the skilled artisans of the Afshar tribe created a masterpiece in the form of a rug measuring 4'6" x 5'6", adorned with captivating medieval blue and marble tones. This Afshar rug features a majestic medallion design, serving as the focal point of its intricate composition. The medieval blue tones infuse the rug with a sense of regal elegance and depth, while the marble accents add a touch of sophistication and refinement. The medallion motif, intricately woven into the fabric, radiates with traditional symbolism and artistic flair, showcasing the mastery of Afshar craftsmanship. As a testament to the tribe's nomadic heritage, this rug not only serves as a stunning decorative piece but also embodies a rich narrative of cultural tradition and artistic expression, inviting admiration and appreciation for generations to come.
