Afshar / 20100

This Afshar antique rug measures 4' 4" x 5' 10" and presents a richly structured field of geometric medallions in navy, brick red, turquoise, and ivory. The design reads with strong contrast, yet the wool surface has softened over time, giving the pattern a quiet depth. Multiple borders, including a red floral band and narrow reciprocal guards, frame the composition with clarity. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the grounded rhythm and graphic precision that define the Afshar tradition, while the low distress lends it an inviting, lightly worn character.
