Afshar / 19494

This Afshar antique rug measures 97 x 483 cm, its elongated silhouette heightening the sense of linear movement across the design. Wool in cream, white, and soft pink runs through the narrow central stripes, while the border introduces deeper notes of rust, indigo, brown, and weathered red. Repeating floral and geometric details create a measured tribal frame around the field, balancing restraint with ornament. Circa 1900 - 1920, the rug shows low distress, with subtle fading and lightly worn edges that preserve its quiet patina and textural presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
