This Afshar antique rug, measuring 9' 2" x 12' 0", carries a weathered field of repeated boteh-like forms softened into an atmospheric allover pattern. The palette blends ivory, faded blue, teal, soft gold, and muted rust, with the border and frame remaining just visible beneath the wear. High distress has mellowed the surface, creating a layered, timeworn read that feels grounded and collected. Circa 1950 - 1965, it reflects the quiet complexity and heritage-driven character often associated with Afshar weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
