This hand-knotted Persian Afshar rug originates from the Hamadan region of Iran and dates to the 1960s. Its rich ruby-red field forms the backdrop for a large central medallion, defined by geometric and floral motifs in navy blue, beige, ivory, pale gold, and touches of terracotta orange. The border is densely decorated with repeating rosettes and stepped patterns in midnight blue, red, ivory, and muted salmon. The material is high-quality wool with a soft, even pile and subtle, natural sheen. The hand-knotted structure and crisp separation of colors and patterns highlight the authenticity of the craftsmanship. Fringes are intact and the edges are carefully finished.The rug’s visual language is defined by the certainty of its geometric forms, the gentle gradation of vegetable-dyed hues, and the warmth of its materials. The composition suggests a rhythmic order and quiet energy, characteristic of mid-century Afshar tradition—where every shape and line acts as storytelling elements. The wool’s natural luster in daylight induces a sense of movement, akin to the shifting surface of silk.Such a rug is well suited as the focal point in a spacious living room—pair it with simple light-wood furniture or a minimalist sofa, allowing the colors and motifs to resonate against a neutral backdrop. It can be combined with other natural materials, such as linen, matte ceramics, or brass details, while ambient or direct lighting will enhance the variety of tones and textures. Classic lamps or low tables in black metal will accentuate the rhythmic geometry of the design, harmonizing its ornamental presence with contemporary spaces.
