The Antique Afshar Rug, measuring 2.3 by 1.58 metres, is a distinguished example of Persian tribal weaving from the Sirjan region of Iran. Crafted by Afshar artisans, this handwoven rug reflects a rich cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship dating back to around 1930.
Its ivory field features the classic boteh motifs, also known as paisley patterns, symbolising fertility in Persian culture. These intricate designs are rendered in deep navy blue and vibrant red, creating a striking contrast against the pale background. The borders showcase a unique floral design set on a navy blue ground, enhancing the overall aesthetic balance of the rug.
A notable detail is the woven signature located in the left corner of the field, adding to the rug's authenticity and collectible value. Made from pure wool, this antique piece is not only a functional floor covering but also an artful statement suitable for display as wall art, bringing history and character to any space.
Due to its heritage and handwoven nature, proper care is recommended to preserve the rug's quality and longevity. This antique Afshar rug offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Persian tribal artistry that enhances both traditional and contemporary interiors.
