Afshar weavers were influenced by the urban designs of the nearby Kirman workshops. This lovely tribal rug is a charming attempt to emulate the floral kirman designs.

FAQs

Afshar rugs are woven by the Afshar nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes residing in southern Iran, known for their distinct geometric motifs, rich natural dyes, and cultural symbolism reflecting their heritage.

Authentic antique Persian rugs are traditionally constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation, often featuring cotton warps, and dyed with natural vegetable and mineral colourants.

Authenticity is identified through irregularities in weave and symmetry, natural abrash colour variations in the wool, hand-spun yarn characteristics, and the presence of traditional tribal motifs rather than precise machine-made regularity.

An antique tribal rug anchors modern or minimalist rooms by adding rich texture, historical depth, and vibrant colour, working effectively on hardwood floors or layered over larger neutral jute flooring.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand washing only when necessary, keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and using a breathable rug underlay.
