Afshar / 17890

This Afshar antique rug measures 4' 9" x 8' 0", presenting a finely ordered field of repeating geometric medallions in a deep navy ground. Brick red, ivory, muted gold, and teal accents lift the pattern with clarity, while the layered border system adds rhythm and restraint. The surface shows low distress, with softened color and light wear that lend warmth without diminishing definition. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the grounded character and intricate balance that make Afshar weaving so distinctive. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
