This antique Persian Afshar rug is a stunning example of tribal artistry, beautifully worn through time. Featuring an all-over design, it showcases intricate paisley motifs that have paisleys within each, a symbol that, according to tradition, suggests the weaver was pregnant. The rug carries a whimsical vibe, reflecting the Afshar people's rugged lifestyle and connection to nature. It’s true expression of tribal heritage, it is as much art as it is history.
Handwoven from 100% vegetable-dyed wool, this beauty has aged gracefully, its colors mellowing in rich harmony over the years. With a floppy handle, this lovely rug brings a relaxed vibe to any space it calls home. Afshar rugs are typically small, and this rare in square shape piece stands out from the crowd.
