About the Item

A beautifully woven vintage Persian Afshar tribal area rug from the early 1900s, showcasing a bold and intricate geometric design. This handwoven piece features a deep navy blue field accented by French blue and red spandrels, with a central section in ivory, highlighting the striking geometric motifs in vivid hues of red, blue, and brown. Known for their fine weave and distinctive tribal artistry, Afshar rugs—woven by the semi-nomadic Afshar people of South-Central Iran—are admired for their balance of symmetry, character, and naturally dyed wool. The use of vegetable dyes brings a rich, organic vibrancy to the piece, enhancing its depth and authenticity. This rug’s versatile color palette and tribal geometry make it ideal for layering in both contemporary and traditional interiors. It offers cultural significance, textural warmth, and a curated vintage appeal to any design space.
