Afshar / 17890

This Afshar antique rug measures 145 x 244 cm, with a dense allover composition set against a rich navy ground. Brick red, ivory, muted gold, and teal details animate the repeating geometric motifs, while the multiple borders frame the field with steady structure. Low distress and gently worn edges give the piece a softened, lived-in presence, allowing the drawing to remain clear and expressive. Circa 1900 - 1925, it reflects the compact geometry and tactile depth associated with Afshar weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
