About the Item

This Mid-20th century Persian Afshar rug, measuring 4' 1" x 5' 3", is a fine example of the tribal artistry for which Afshar weavers are renowned. The composition features a captivating sky-blue field that sets the stage for two large vase motifs, each filled with stylized blossoms, geometric foliage, and branching stems. These vases are rendered in soft terracotta, ivory, and warm brown tones, creating a striking contrast against the cool background. The geometric abstraction of the floral arrangements, with their playful symmetry and angularity, reflects the unique design vocabulary of Afshar weavings melding nomadic spontaneity with structured composition. The surrounding border enhances the central display with a series of rectilinear forms, stepped medallions, and small rosettes, presented in a palette of ivory, camel, and chestnut. This border frames the field with a bold yet harmonious rhythm, complementing the central motifs. Rich in cultural symbolism, this rug represents both artistry and tradition, making it a beautiful decorative accent.
