This is a very beautiful and early afshar weaving dating to the third quarter of the 19th century (1850-75).

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Afshar rugs originate from nomadic and semi-nomadic Turkic tribes in south-eastern Iran, predominantly around the Kerman province. They are recognised for their geometric adaptations of classical Persian floral designs, bold field colours, and durable weave structures.

These rugs are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation (warp and weft), though some later pieces incorporate cotton foundation threads. The wool is coloured using natural plant and mineral dyes, producing deep indigos, madder reds, and saffron tones.

Authentic pieces feature a flexible, heavy handle, asymmetrical or symmetrical wool knots, and characteristic depressed warps. Design traits include stylized medallions, repeated boteh motifs, or vase patterns surrounded by multiple layered borders.

A vibrant tribal rug functions well as a focal accent on hardwood or polished concrete floors in living areas, entryways, or studies. Its geometric patterns and saturated tones provide visual grounding and tactile contrast in contemporary or minimalist spaces.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush to protect the fibres. Rotate the rug annually to balance sun exposure and foot traffic, and address spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
