Antique Afshar Persian 1900s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of antique rugs originates from the nomadic and settled weaving communities of the Afshar tribe in Southern Persia, representing the robust, deeply saturated palette characteristic of Iranian Persian rugs. The weaving tradition of the afshar is immediately recognizable through its use of tightly packed, geometric motifs rendered in rich wool. The palette here is dominated by a warm, vibrant Coral field, offset by secondary details in indigo, soft sky blue, and deep olive brown, demonstrating a sophisticated use of natural dyes from the period. The central field employs a dense, repeating trellis structure, creating a mesmerizing rhythm across the surface.
