This hand-knotted Persian tribal rug dates to 1890 and is made from wool pile on a cotton foundation with light blue dyed wefts. The piece displays a red stepped central medallion and geometric corner spandrels set against a dark indigo blue-black field with abrash colour variations, complemented by multiple repeat borders, barber-pole end panels, double-bound light blue side cords, and low even pile with even fringes. The rug measures 132 cm high, 114 cm wide, and 0.6 cm deep. Suitable for use in a gentleman's library or study, the rug brings traditional warmth and rich colour variation to interior spaces. Placed on the floor beneath a reading table or as a central room accent, the textile introduces classic Persian tribal motifs and traditional craftsmanship to a home setting.

FAQs

Originating from nomadic and semi-nomadic weavers in southeastern Persia, Afshar rugs are noted for their durable wool construction, bold geometric medallions, and deep navy and terracotta colour schemes.

Traditional hand-knotted tribal rugs are crafted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit asymmetrical hand-knotting visible on the reverse, subtle abrash colour variations in the dyed yarn, and slight irregularities in the geometric pattern.

A small tribal rug can be placed in an entryway, beneath an occasional table, or layered over a larger neutral jute or sisal rug to add structure and pattern.

Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly, and address spills immediately using cold water and a clean cloth.
