Description

Beautiful Late 19th Century Persian Afshar Tribal area rug. This early example of Afshar weaving is a true masterpiece of tribal artistry, embodying the raw skill and unique vision of a single artisan.

What makes this rug truly stand out is its desirable rare near-square format, a sought-after dimension for tribal textiles. It features a finely executed allover geometric design that captivates with its intricate patterns and harmonious flow. The motifs are set against a deep navy blue field, creating a dramatic and sophisticated backdrop.

The design is beautifully adorned with intricately rendered motifs in a vibrant palette of luminous golden yellow, earthy brown, verdant green, and various nuanced shades of blue. These natural hues combine to create a visually dynamic and utterly timeless appeal. A striking Persian blue border elegantly frames the composition, providing a perfect balance and enhancing the rug's overall grandeur.

Notable for its fine weave and superb craftsmanship, this rug remains in remarkable condition given its age of over 150 years. This speaks volumes about the quality of its materials and the enduring artistry of its creators.
