{"product_id":"early-1900s-persian-afshar-rug-worn-tribal-medallion-rug-handmade-4054","title":"Worn Tribal Persian Rug \/ 4'5 x 6'2 Rug #4054","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eThis one is an old soul and still going strong. Woven by Afshar tribespeople in southeastern Persia during the early 1900s, it carries all the things that make these tribal rugs recognizable and loved. It showcases three stacked medallions that anchor the field, surrounded by angular tribal motifs and a deep indigo ground that has mellowed beautifully with overtime. The colors have softened into that hard to fake palette only a century of life can give…dusty coral reds, faded sky blues, warm ivory, and navy all settling together in a way that feels collected rather than designed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eAnd this old Afshar has lived. The wool pile is worn low throughout, allowing the drawing of the rug to take center stage. All the beauty from age adds to the character and story rather than detract from it. It is the kind of rug people spend years trying to find because the wear has happened organically over time and you can say it has that real deal shabby chic style now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eAfshar rugs are known for their sturdy tribal weaving traditions and distinctive geometric designs. They were woven by nomadic and semi nomadic communities whose rugs often reflected daily life, memory, symbolism, and regional identity. No two are ever quite alike. For those who appreciate old rugs with history written directly into the surface, this one has plenty to say. Please study photos carefully to appreciate the condition and remarkable surface this old Afshar has earned over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e_____________________________________________________________________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Rug Rundown…  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e                                                              \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ethe wool…the weave…the wear  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSize: 4'5 x 6'2 \u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Vegetable dyed wool\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Hand knotted\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Persia\u003cbr\u003eAge: Early 1900s\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Tribal triple medallion Afshar\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Low worn pile with age related wear, abundant character throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e_____________________________________________________________________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #706e7c;\"\u003e:: Please consider a rug pad for this old beauty, to keep it protected and wiggle free.
