About the Item

This Mid-20th century Persian Afshar rug, measuring 1' 8" x 2' 3", is a striking example of Afshar tribal artistry expressed through bold geometric abstraction. The design is composed of a rhythmic checkerboard pattern that alternates between deep crimson, midnight black, ivory, and forest green squares, creating a mesmerizing sense of movement across the field. The simplicity of the checker motif belies its sophistication, as the slight irregularities in the weave lend the piece an appealing hand-crafted charm, characteristic of Afshar nomadic traditions. Framed by a narrow border with serrated geometric motifs, the rug achieves balance between its minimalist field and the tribal sensibility of its edging. This small format makes it an especially versatile piece, likely woven for personal use, perhaps as a bagface or utilitarian cover, yet its aesthetic impact is undeniable. The strong use of contrasting colors and the repetitive rhythm of the design give this Afshar rug a uniquely modern resonance while remaining rooted in Persian tribal heritage.
