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 the nomadic and semi-nomadic Afshar tribe settled principally in the Kerman province of southeastern Iran. Historically, these weavers combined Turkic and Persian design traditions, producing floor coverings featuring geometric medallions, stylised flora, and vibrant vegetable-dyed wools.

Traditional Afshar carpets are hand-knotted using locally sourced wool yarn tied over a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. Weavers utilise asymmetrical or symmetrical knots to create dense piles, employing natural vegetable dyes to produce shades of terracotta, madder red, indigo blue, and ivory.

Authentic Afshar rugs feature hand-bound sides, minor asymmetrical variations in patterning, and slight colour abrash caused by hand-dyed wool batches. The weave typically shows a firm, flexible structure with stepped diamond medallions or repeat boteh motifs distinct to South Persian tribal traditions.

A distressed tribal rug provides visual texture and colour contrast when placed on polished concrete, light oak, or stone flooring. It grounds minimalist or eclectic furniture arrangements, bridging contemporary clean lines with historic geometric patterning.

Preserve antique wool rugs by vacuuming regularly without a rotating beater bar to avoid fibre damage. Rotate the rug annually to balance sun exposure and foot traffic, and address spills immediately by blotting with a dry cloth and using specialist wool-safe cleaning procedures.
