About the Item

A Glimpse into Nomadic Traditions This handmade vintage Persian Afshar rug, dating from the 1930s, is a captivating example of authentic tribal artistry. Woven by the semi-nomadic Afshar tribes primarily in southeastern Iran, these rugs are celebrated for their distinctive geometric designs, bold color palettes, and robust construction. This particular piece embodies the unique cultural expression and enduring quality for which Afshar textiles are highly prized, bringing a unique narrative to any space. Distinctive Design and Rustic Palette The rug features a warm and inviting orange/peach field that provides a vibrant backdrop for its striking motifs. Dominating the composition are large, stylized octagonal or shield-like medallions, presented in rich tones of deep green and blue, arranged prominently down the center. The field is further adorned with charmingly naive and abstract figures, including stylized human forms, animals (such as horses or dogs), and tree-like motifs, which seem to dance across the surface, each carrying symbolic meaning within the tribal context. The borders are equally bold and geometric, featuring angular patterns and stripes in contrasting blues and green, beautifully framing the central design. This earthy yet vibrant palette, combined with the distinctive imagery, creates a rustic yet sophisticated aesthetic. Handcrafted Quality and Enduring Condition Hand-knotted from 100% premium wool, this Persian Afshar rug boasts a dense and durable pile, a hallmark of its tribal origin. The robust construction ensures both a luxurious feel underfoot and exceptional longevity, characteristic of a rug made for nomadic life. This vintage piece is in good condition, showing only minor signs of wear consistent with its age and history. Its authentic charm is beautifully preserved, with all details and colors retaining their distinctive character. The rug has been professionally cleaned and carefully prepared, ready to grace your home with its unique beauty and heritage. Characterful Addition to Any Space The captivating aesthetic and durable nature of this vintage Persian Afshar rug make it incredibly versatile. It is ideal for adding warmth, character, and a touch of bohemian or ethnic flair to a living room, study, entryway, or as a distinctive accent in a bedroom. For collectors and connoisseurs of genuine tribal textiles, this Persian Afshar rug represents a significant acquisition, offering both superb decorative appeal and a tangible connection to the esteemed tradition of nomadic art. It is more than just a floor covering; it is a magnificent work of art to be cherished for generations. 3.
