Afshar Rugs
Afshar rugs are a type of hand knotted carpet that originates from the Afshar tribe in southeastern Persia. These rugs are known for their distinctive geometric designs and bold colors, as well as their durability.
Afshar rugs typically feature a central medallion surrounded by a field of intricate geometric patterns, with borders that may also contain geometric motifs or floral designs. They are often made with wool or a wool/cotton blend, and may incorporate natural dyes for color.
Afshar rugs have a long history, with some examples dating back to the 16th century. They are still produced today, with many skilled weavers continuing to create these beautiful and intricate rugs by hand. The high quality of the materials and the intricate nature of the weaving process mean that Afshar rugs are highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
