This Afshar antique rug, measuring 4' 11" x 6' 2", presents an open geometric field layered with stepped motifs and a restrained floral border. The composition feels both structured and softened, with faded sky blue grounds balanced by rust, ivory, taupe, and muted brown. Areas of wear and atmospheric fading lend the surface a dry, lived-in character, allowing the older design language to read with quiet clarity. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the grounded warmth and visual depth that define the appeal of a well-aged Afshar piece. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
