Afshar / 19494

This Afshar antique rug measures 3' 2" x 15' 10", with a long, slender format that emphasizes its disciplined vertical rhythm. The wool field is worked in narrow stripes of cream, white, and muted pink, while the border brings a richer register of rust, indigo, brown, and faded rose tones. Small floral and geometric motifs repeat with an easy tribal cadence, giving the composition warmth without heaviness. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries a low-distress surface, softened colour, and the kind of gentle wear that lends depth to its handmade character.
