This decorative Afshar rug from the tribes of South Iran is a rare and captivating piece, celebrated for its unusual cream ground and intricate, symbolic design. Afshar weavings are known for their bold tribal character, but this piece also exudes refinement and harmony—a beautiful blend of function and artistry.

The field features a series of stylised paisley motifs, a symbol traditionally associated with fertility, growth, and protection. These are interconnected by delicate branching forms and scattered flower heads, creating a natural flow across the rug’s surface. The cream background, rarely found in tribal rugs of this region, serves to brighten and elevate the design, making it highly adaptable to a range of interiors.

Framing the central composition is a deep blue border with carefully selected colours used to highlight its floral and geometric elements—a perfect contrast that adds depth and draws the eye inward.

Though there is minor, negligible loss consistent with its age, this only enhances the rug’s authenticity and collectability, making it a fine addition for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking a statement tribal piece.
