Product description
Afshar Carpet The carpet you have is an Afshar carpet, from the region of Kerman. The Afshar tribe, a Turkmen nomadic group that settled in this area, is known for producing extraordinarily detailed and vibrant carpets. What distinguishes Afshar carpets is the combination of geometric and sometimes symbolic designs, often with motifs referring to their nomadic lifestyle and nature. This particular carpet exhibits the distinctive Afshar medallion style. The large central medallions, in this case three prominently placed octagons, are typical examples of Afshar designs. The medallions are geometric and exude a symmetrical, almost austere simplicity that contrasts with the finer patterns that fill the background. Often incorporated are symbols that refer to elements of nature, such as animals or plants, or abstract representations of traditional customs and stories. The colors of this rug are deep and rich: the use of deep reds, dark blues, greens and earth tones is typical of Afshar fabrics. These colors are obtained through the use of natural dyes, such as indigo for the blue and madder root for the red. Afshar carpets are known for their bold contrasts and vibrant hues, which give it a warm and inviting appearance. As for the structure, the rug is hand-knotted with a tight knot density, ensuring durability and a refined finish. The quality of the wool is high, which is characteristic of carpets from this region, traditionally woven by nomads and semi-nomadic communities. In short, this rug is a wonderful example of the Afshar tradition: a work of art that combines craftsmanship, history and culture. It offers not only beauty, but also a story that is centuries old and intertwined with the rich tapestry art.
