Afshar / 19718

This Afshar antique rug measures 3' 6" x 5' 7" and presents a tightly composed field of repeating geometric forms, each outlined in grounded browns, worn red, blue, and muted green. A busy border system frames the interior with small-scale floral and angular details, while the surface shows gentle age softening that adds warmth without obscuring the drawing. The wool pile retains a tactile, lived-in character, with low distress and subtle edge variation. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reads as both structured and improvisational, a field of rhythm and restraint shaped by hand.
