FAQs

Afshar rugs are hand-knotted textiles traditionally woven by the semi-nomadic Afshar tribes located in southern Iran, known for their distinct geometric compositions, rich indigo fields, and rustic village character.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces typically feature hand-spun wool foundations and piles, dyed using natural vegetable colours such as madder root and indigo, woven with symmetrical or asymmetrical knots.

Authenticity is determined by examining the natural colour variations in the wool known as abrash, hand-finished selvedges, irregular geometric motifs, and the density and irregularities characteristic of tribal village production.

This piece anchors modern or traditional spaces by introducing rich textures and historical depth, pairing effectively with minimalist upholstery, natural woods, and neutral architectural backgrounds.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by textile conservators when necessary, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight to protect natural dyes.
