Hand-knotted in premium wool, its rhythmic geometry calls back to the celebrated Afshar provenance, recapturing its nomadic sensibility through a contemporary, refined lens.

On the Design:

This rug favors a weathered light blue, beige-gold and gray field that provides a cool, luminous backdrop for a structured repeat of golden-ochre diamond medallions. Connoisseurs will admire our inventive take on a distressed texture, which marries an archaic tribal design with a "Rustic Modern" wash that is both comfortable and low-pile for vast applications.

The result is an approachable, easy-to-maintain version of a time-honored classic, perfect for a high-traffic luxury environment.

Admirers of the craft will recognize the Afshar-inspired mosaic layout, where geometric floral clusters are ensconced within shifting diamond cartouches. This rug is a gorgeous exemplar of the style, where the play of muted gold against the striae of the blue-gray field creates a kaleidoscopic, nearly pixelated vibe that feels remarkably ahead of its time.

The border achieves a sublime balance, featuring a rhythmic sawtooth progression that ensures a clean, framed finish to this ancient Persian narrative. See less
