This sturdy and stout Afshar rug from the 1920s is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Afshar tribe. Measuring 5'7 x 8'5, it's not only a visual delight but also built to endure generations of use—perfect for high-traffic areas where the whole family, including your fur babies, can roam freely. This rug will take it all in stride!
The striking aqua blue borders immediately catch your eye, wrapping around the rug like a vibrant frame to a timeless work of art. The intricate motifs along the border showcase the tribal influence, a hallmark of Afshar weaving that celebrates geometry and tradition. It almost feels like a delicate yet bold expression of movement, pulling you in for a closer look.
The center field is a marvel on its own, with tightly woven, repetitive lines (like ribbons) creating a mesmerizing pattern that feels structured yet playful. This low-pile rug, crafted with exceptionally durable wool, is designed to last, providing both beauty and practicality. Whether you're placing it in a high-traffic hallway or a cozy living room where pets and family can gather, this rug is up for the task, handling everything with grace.
Its clean, balanced design, featuring a blend of earthy tones and pops of color, makes it adaptable to any interior style—traditional or modern. And with the incredible craftsmanship that defines Afshar rugs, you’re not just bringing home a floor covering; you’re bringing in a piece of history, woven with love, pride, and expert hands. This low pile rug is fully secured and super clean.
