Antique Afshar Hallway Runner Wool Multicolor Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece, originating from the Qashqa'i region of Iranian / Persian weaving, showcases the distinctive geometric rigor characteristic of the nomadic afshar tradition. The dense, tightly knotted wool ensures both durability and a rich textural quality, hallmarks of late 19th-century tribal production. The field is dominated by a repeating lattice of interconnected diamond medallions, each intricately filled with smaller stylized motifs and serrated edges. The complexity of the pattern is balanced by a sophisticated, deeply saturated multicolor jewel-tone palette, featuring rich indigo, madder red, and warm saffron accents against a deep aubergine ground.
