About the Item

This Rare Fine Antique Collectable Afshar Rug is a masterpiece, woven around 1900, and is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of its type. Measuring 4'3" x 4'6", it features beautifully drawn light blue tulips on trellises that connect across a rare saffron field. The inner field of this rug is asymmetrical, yet perfectly balanced, adding to its character and charm. The border is adorned with floral medallions reminiscent of the tulips in the field, set against a soft indigo blue background. Its preservation is remarkable, with the woven ends displaying a rainbow-like effect. The seven minor borders represent the Seven Heavens, and tiny bees appear between the floral medallions, symbolizing nature’s gifts and the sweetness of life. This rug is a true treasure, showcasing the best of Afshar craftsmanship, vibrant color, and history. The Rare Fine Antique Collectable Afshar Rug in 4'3" x 4'6" draws on the influences of antique Caucasian rugs, incorporating rich colors like crimson, saffron gold, ivory, burnt orange, and sienna. Its geometric patterns, medallions, and pomegranate vase motifs highlight the rug’s cultural connections. With its exquisite design and excellent condition for its age, this Afshar rug is a rare find that offers both historical significance and a timeless beauty, making it a standout piece for any collection or home.
