Afshar rugs are a type of handwoven carpet traditionally produced by the Afshar tribe in Iran. The Afshar people are a semi-nomadic group primarily located in the southeastern region of Iran, known as Kerman Province. Afshar rugs are highly regarded for their quality craftsmanship and intricate designs. They are typically made using a combination of wool and occasionally silk for the pile, and cotton for the foundation. The weavers use a Turkish knotting technique, which results in a durable and tightly woven rug. In terms of design, Afshar rugs often feature geometric patterns and motifs, including medallions, geometric shapes, and tribal symbols. The color palette is typically rich and vibrant, with a variety of hues such as red, blue, ivory, and brown. Each Afshar rug is unique and reflects the artistic expression and cultural heritage of the Afshar tribe. They are prized for their durability, excellent craftsmanship, and aesthetic appeal. Afshar rugs are considered valuable and are sought after by collectors and rug enthusiasts around the world. Eliko Rugs by David Ariel...
