Afshar / 20264

This Afshar antique rug in wool measures 4' 3" x 6' 3" and offers a saturated, layered field framed by a disciplined series of floral borders. The composition balances a dark ground with red, brown, ivory, and restrained blue accents, creating depth around the vase-like and botanical forms that repeat in mirrored order. The drawing feels refined yet organic, with slight irregularities that speak to handwoven character. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the grounded warmth and visual density associated with antique rug work of the type, while remaining low in distress and visually cohesive throughout.
