Antique Afshar Hallway Runner Wool Coral Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional example of nomadic weaving dates to the mid-19th century, offering a striking aesthetic that defines the best Iranian Persian rugs of the period. Its narrow, elongated form makes it a perfect hallway runner, designed to introduce warmth and historical depth into transitional spaces. Woven by the semi-nomadic Afshar tribe, known for their robust construction and distinctive geometric patterns, this piece showcases the characteristic horizontal banding often associated with afshar weaving. The field is composed of tightly packed, alternating rows of stylized motifs—likely derived from traditional kilim designs—creating a mesmerizing, rhythmic visual texture that speaks directly to its tribal heritage.
