Discover the Vintage Afshar Sofreh, a Persian flat-weave rug measuring 1.4 by 1.31 metres. This handwoven piece originates from the Afshar tribe of Persia, crafted around 1960. Featuring traditional designs and natural materials, it is a distinctive example of Persian textile artistry.
The rug showcases a central diamond medallion set against a multi-layer zig-zag field, bordered with decorative motifs. Its colour palette combines rustic red and green hues with contrasting sky night blue and ivory rosettes, enhanced by unique abrash colour variations. These subtle shading effects result from the use of organic vegetable dyes, reflecting the authentic hand-dyeing techniques of the artisans.
Woven from 100% wool, this flat-weave Sofreh is both durable and lightweight. Originally designed for use as a table covering, it suits a variety of decorative purposes, such as a coffee table accent or a small floor rug. Its compact size and versatile style make it a charming addition to any home, particularly for those interested in Persian or tribal decor.
This vintage Afshar Sofreh requires careful maintenance to preserve its condition and vibrancy. Its authentic craftsmanship and cultural heritage make it a valuable piece for collectors and lovers of Persian textiles.
