Afshar 1049

An exceptional and highly collectible 19th-century Persian Afshar tribal rug in a rare near-square format. This early example of Afshar weaving is a true masterpiece of tribal artistry, featuring a finely executed allover geometric design that reflects the skill and vision of a single artisan. Set against a deep navy blue field, the rug is adorned with intricately rendered motifs in golden yellow, brown, green, and various shades of blue. A striking Persian blue border frames the composition with elegance and balance. Notable for its fine weave and superb craftsmanship, this rug remains in remarkable condition given its age of over 150 years—making it an ideal centerpiece for curated interiors or distinguished collections.
