Antique Afshar Persian Blue and Coral 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional Afshar weaving represents the finest tribal artistry from the late Qajar period. Afshar pieces are highly sought after among collectors of antique rugs for their robust construction and distinct, often geometric, design vocabulary. The field is dominated by a warm, oxidized coral tone, beautifully offset by highlights of deep blue and rust red. The central medallion area features a rare, luminous blue and coral ground, providing a striking contrast to the dense, repeating boteh motifs that fill the rest of the composition. Characterized by a highly detailed, repeating geometric structure, this piece utilizes an allover design that eschews a central focal point in favor of continuous visual movement.
