A beautiful and highly collectible late 19th-century Persian Afshar tribal rug, hand-knotted in a refined allover paisley design. Set against a rare ivory ground, this textile showcases repeated boteh (paisley) motifs in warm rust and brown tones—symbols of life and eternity in Persian culture. Originating from the nomadic Afshar tribes of southwestern Persia, this piece exemplifies the artistry and symbolic depth of tribal weaving. Remarkably well-preserved, this rug was lovingly used as a wall tapestry for much of the past century and includes a hand-stitched tapestry rod pocket on the reverse for optional display. An elegant and meaningful addition to any curated interior or textile collection.
