About the Item

This Mid-20th century Persian Afshar rug, measuring 3' 7" x 5' 4", reflects the tribal artistry of the Afshar weavers from southern Iran. Its striking field is designed around a pair of diamond medallions, each filled with finely drawn geometric motifs that convey balance and symmetry. The soft beige and sand-toned palette is accented with subtle shades of terracotta, brown, and ivory, giving the piece a natural warmth and earthy elegance. Angular stepped forms, stylized shrubs, and small diamond rosettes populate the open ground, presenting a dynamic yet ordered arrangement typical of Afshar tribal works. The wide border is composed of a series of interconnected angular motifs and abstract floral elements, creating a powerful frame that grounds the central design. This rug exemplifies the Afshar reputation for weaving pieces that combine bold tribal geometry with nuanced coloration, making it both decorative and historically engaging. A fine example of Afshar craftsmanship, it captures the authenticity and rhythm of tribal Persian weaving.
