This small, antique rug from the Afshar tribe, woven at the turn of the 20th century, is a an exquisite find with its square shape. Its worn, low-pile texture tells a story of age and authenticity, while the all-natural vegetable-dyed wool brings forth a stunning, organic and time worn palette.
Mellowed cantaloupe tones blend harmoniously with a punch of French blue, coral, midnight blue, Tuscany yellow, aqua blue, hunter green, and more, creating a rich, earthy visual narrative. The border on an ivory ground with continuous floral motifs are visually captivating and embodies a lovely contrast to the field of rug, framing it beautifully.
The rug's diamond lattice design is intricately adorned with highly stylized floral geometric motifs, each detail reflecting the skilled craftsmanship of the Afshar tribe. Set on a wool foundation, this piece is both nice and floppy, embodying the true essence of a well-loved Persian rug.
Its more square-ish form, measuring exactly 3'2 x 4'3, adds to its uniqueness, making it a rare treasure that's perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
