Afshar rugs originate from the tribal groups inhabiting the Kerman province in southern Persia. These pieces frequently display repeating boteh motifs or geometric field patterns. The nomadic background of the makers influences the compact formats and rich, saturated wool colours characteristic of this regional group.

What is a tribal bag face?

How do I care for an antique carpet?

Care for an antique carpet involves regular gentle vacuuming without rotating beater bars to protect the wool pile.
