Antique Afshar Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece, woven in the late 19th century, represents the finest tribal artistry from the Iranian / Persian plateau. Its small scatter size makes it a versatile accent piece for a sophisticated interior. The dense field features a highly stylized, repeating pattern of large, stylized palmettes and botanical forms, characteristic of the region's nomadic tradition. The primary palette of madder red and deep indigo is beautifully offset by the luminous ivory ground, which allows the intricate detail to truly resonate. This example of afshar weaving is distinguished by its robust wool construction and the inclusion of numerous minor motifs—including birds and geometric symbols—scattered throughout the central medallion-less field.
