Afshar / 18910

This Afshar antique rug measures 4' 2" x 8' 0" and carries the grounded, tribal rhythm associated with the weave. Repeated arched medallions fill the field in softened brick red, coral, ivory, indigo, and ochre, while the borders hold the composition with a steady graphic cadence. Low distress is visible in the layered fading and gentle wear, which lends the surface a quiet patina rather than distracting loss. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reads as tactile, timeworn, and distinctly patterned, with the kind of visual depth that gives an old rug its character.
