Afshar / 20886

This Afshar antique rug measures 3' 6" x 6' 0" and carries the grounded geometry associated with the group, rendered in brown, neutral, and gold with touches of navy and rust. The field is organised around bold hexagonal forms and stepped, tribal outlines, while the multiple borders add rhythm through florals, chevrons, and small angular ornaments. Wool pile has softened with age, giving the surface a dry, tactile character that suits the low distress level. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as composed, weathered, and quietly vivid. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
