Antique Afshar Persian Geometric Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This striking piece exemplifies the robust, highly detailed afshar weaving tradition. It is characterized by its deep, saturated palette of indigo, rust, and teal, colors derived from natural dyes favored by the nomadic tribes of the Kerman region.

The design employs a powerful central medallion structure, rendered entirely through precise geometric rugs motifs. The complexity of the field is balanced by multiple finely delineated borders, creating a dense, mesmerizing visual texture typical of early 20th-century tribal work.

As a genuine example of Persian rugs from the turn of the century, this hand-knotted pile rug offers a tangible link to the rich textile history of the region. The authenticity and age of the piece categorize it among our finest antique rugs available for collection.

While the narrow format suggests a possible use as a runner or perhaps a decorative fragment, its compact scale (2.04ft x 4.09ft) makes it an ideal small scatter size accent piece for a hallway or study. The visible repairs and variations in the central field speak to its long history and use, adding undeniable character and patina. See less
