Afshar / 20100

This Afshar antique rug measures 132 x 178 cm and offers a disciplined geometric composition in navy, brick red, turquoise, and ivory. Interlocking lozenges and medallions organise the field, while layered borders add structure and a sense of cadence. The wool pile shows gentle softening and minor edge character, which enhance its age without interrupting the design. Circa 1900 - 1925, it reflects the graphic clarity associated with Afshar weaving, balancing crisp pattern with a quietly timeworn surface that feels both settled and expressive. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
