Introducing an exquisite antique 1880s Persian rug that was woven by the Afshar tribe in the heart of Persia, boasting a stunning large scale linear paisley print that tells a story of tradition and elegance. The intricate design of the paisley print is woven with the utmost care and attention to detail, resulting in a unique pattern that speaks volumes about the artistry of the weavers. Each thread is hand-knotted with precision, creating a wonderful rug that has stood the test of time.
Woven with vegetable dyed wool, the gorgeous earth tones enhance the tribal motifs throughout the rug providing a lovely color palette that will be easy to style. The border bands frame this rug perfectly, showcasing a bit of abrash that contributes to the one-of-a-kind feel of this awesome rug.
This rug is not just a piece of floor art; it is a piece of history that has been passed down through generations. Although timeworn, it is fully intact and has a nice floppy handle, but should not be placed in a high traffic area. Measuring in at an amazing and unusual gallery-sized scale, this rug is the perfect centerpiece for any space. The Afshar tribe, known for their masterful rug-making techniques, have infused this rug with their heritage, giving it a distinct personality that will bring character and depth to any room.
