Afshar / 16782

This Afshar antique rug measures 91 x 480 cm and unfolds in a long, disciplined composition of stacked geometric medallions, framed by slender borders with repeating floral and hooked motifs. Woven in wool, the brown, red, and gold palette reads as warm and weathered, with softened contrast and subtle dark notes throughout. The design remains clear despite its age, while the low distress adds a pleasing, lived-in surface. Circa 1880 - 1910, it retains the kind of restrained character and tactile nuance that define an antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
