Afshar / 20058

This Afshar antique rug measures 4' 3" x 4' 11" and carries the grounded character that defines the type. A saturated red field is animated by a bold navy medallion, smaller floral forms, and crisp geometric accents in ivory, purple, and darker blue. The layered border adds structure, while the softer centre shows age, fading, and light wear that deepen its presence. Circa 1930 - 1955, it feels both exacting and relaxed, with wool texture and visible variation that speak to its history without diminishing its clarity. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
