This Afshar antique rug, measuring 150 x 188 cm, is organised around a geometric field of stepped forms and a narrow floral border that frames the composition with quiet discipline. The palette moves through faded sky blue, rust, ivory, taupe, and muted brown, creating a softened, weathered harmony. Visible fading and gentle abrasion have blurred the surface in places, giving the rug an understated, tactile presence. Circa 1940 - 1965, it reflects the layered character and heritage-informed design language associated with Afshar rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
