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 are hand-woven textiles produced by the semi-nomadic Afshar tribe, primarily located in southeastern Iran around the Kerman province. Known for their stylized geometric patterns and rich dye palettes, these rugs frequently feature repeating motifs such as the Herati pattern or central medallions.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton foundation. The dyes are historically derived from natural sources such as madder root for reds and indigo for blues, resulting in rich, durable colourways.

Authentic 19th-century examples display slight weave irregularities characteristic of nomadic tribal looms, soft natural vegetable dyes, and flexible wool construction. The presence of traditional repeat motifs like the Herati or diamond patterns alongside wide woven end-borders also indicates authenticity.

An antique tribal rug introduces visual warmth, texture, and historical contrast when placed on hardwood or polished concrete flooring. It functions effectively as a focal point in contemporary minimalist settings, traditional studies, or layered within eclectic spaces.

Regular vacuuming using a suction-only attachment without a rotating beater bar prevents fibre wear. Professional cleaning should be carried out by a specialist antique textile restorer, and rotating the rug periodically ensures even exposure to sunlight and foot traffic.
