About the Item

60922 Antique Persian Afshar Rug, 05'02 x 06'06. Antique-washed Persian Afshar rugs, originating from the Afshar tribe in Iran, offer a modern twist on traditional craftsmanship. These Persian rugs feature faded geometric designs, soft color palettes, and durable handwoven construction of their predecessors, often featuring motifs reflecting tribal heritage and cultural symbolism. Crafted using high-quality wool and woven with symmetric knots for sturdiness, Afshar rugs come in various sizes and shapes, catering to diverse interior needs. Through a specialized washing process, antique-washed Persian Afshar rugs acquire an aged or distressed appearance reminiscent of antique rugs, achieved by fading colors, softening wool, and slightly distressing the pile. Imbuing these authentic Afshar rugs with a worn, weathered charm, enhances their character and appeal while making them popular choices for modern, traditional and rustic interior settings. Tribal enchantment merges seamlessly with rugged beauty and a touch of esoteric elegance in this exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Persian Afshar rug. Its distressed composition showcases a central diamond medallion embellished with an eight-point star flower, set against a backdrop of richly striated blue with taupe gradations. Intricate ornamentation adorns the field, featuring classic motifs such as pomegranate vases, tulips, the tree of life, rosettes, pinwheels, and checkered hens, known as "murgi" in Persian, meaning chicken. The light brown corner spandrels, accented by dark brown serrated edges, are adorned with enigmatic symbols and tribal motifs that echo those found within the central field, adding layers of mystery and intrigue to the rug's design. Adding to its allure, the antique Afshar rug is elegantly framed by a tribal motif sky blue border. This border, encompassed by inner and outer rosette bands, introduces another level of complexity and subtle sophistication to the piece. These intricate Afshar design elements not only enhance the rug's visual appeal but also serve as a testament to its age and the masterful craftsmanship invested in its creation. Each motif tells a story, reflecting the cultural heritage and artistic ingenuity of the weavers who meticulously crafted this timeless masterpiece. From the sun-drenched landscapes of Saltillo and the vibrant hues of talavera to the relaxed refinement of rustic Mediterranean chateaus, Tuscan villas, Spanish Haciendas, and Italian farmhouses, this antique Persian Afshar rug effortlessly complements a variety of interior styles. Its blend of tribal charm, historical significance, and timeless beauty makes it a captivating centerpiece that adds warmth, character, and sophistication to any space it graces.
