This Persian tribal area rug dates from 1900 and is hand-knotted from wool and cotton. The piece displays a cream and navy blue colour scheme, set off by secondary tones of red, soft green and gold. The central ivory field carries a repeated pattern of stylized geometric floral shields and botteh motifs, accompanied by small figures along the edges. Multiple intricate borders frame the field, incorporating geometric and Herati patterns. The rug has secure fringes and selvedges alongside light, age-related wear, and measures 185 cm high by 148 cm wide and 1 cm deep. Position this floor covering in an English country house interior, such as a study, sitting room or hallway, to introduce a traditional tribal aesthetic. The low-pile construction handles everyday foot traffic in domestic spaces while adding warmth and texture to wooden or carpeted flooring.

FAQs

Afshar rugs are hand-knotted textiles traditionally created by the semi-nomadic Afshar tribe located predominantly in southeastern Iran. They are noted for their geometric patterns, stylized floral or animal motifs, and rich colour palettes derived from natural dyes.

These rugs are traditionally crafted with a hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. The wool is dyed using vegetable and organic sources, yielding varied colour tones across the pile.

Authentic pieces feature a flexible, hand-knotted construction with slight pattern variations visible on the reverse side. They commonly display stylized botteh motifs, stepped medallions, or dense repeating floral motifs within complex multi-banded borders.

An Afshar rug serves as a foundational accent piece that anchors living rooms, studies, or foyers. It contrasts well with minimalist modern furniture, natural timber, or dark leather upholstery while introducing texture and historical pattern.

Regular low-suction vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents fibre degradation. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean dry cloth, and professional cleaning by a rug specialist is recommended periodically.
