Antique Afshar Small Scatter Size Wool Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of Iranian / Persian rugs showcases the powerful geometric aesthetic unique to the nomadic weavers of the Afshar tribe, known for their bold, saturated color palettes and robust construction. The field is dominated by a deep indigo ground, providing a striking contrast for the repeating, oversized boteh motifs. These highly stylized paisley elements are arranged in a tight, structured grid, creating a mesmerizing allover design that speaks to the weaver's mastery of space and repetition within a restricted format. A rich, earthy palette defines the piece, utilizing strong terracotta reds, deep blues, and accents of ivory and brown, all derived from natural dyes.
