Antique Persian Tribal Rug 5 x 7.8, Triple Medallions, Red, Persian Afshar Rug
Bring warmth and artistry into your home with this Antique Persian Afshar Rug, measuring 5' x 7'8". Hand-knotted in the 1940s, this tribal wool rug features a striking triple medallion layout—two in deep navy and one in ivory—set against a rich red field. The bold geometric pattern is balanced by charming tribal motifs, including stylized animals and angular floral forms, making it both decorative and deeply rooted in tradition.
About Persian Afshar Rugs
Afshar rugs are woven by the Afshar people, a historically nomadic tribe primarily located in southeastern Iran. Known for their distinctive tribal designs and saturated natural dyes, Afshar rugs often feature geometric medallions, boteh motifs, and symbolic animal forms. They are prized for their robust wool, tight weave, and expressive layouts that reflect the individuality of the weaver.
Unique Characteristics of this Afshar Rug
This piece is notable for its beautifully executed medallions and the rare interplay of ivory and navy blue against a rust-red background. The crisp contrast and fine detail in the animal and botanical motifs lend the rug a lively, almost storytelling quality. Its mid-size format is especially versatile—ideal for a reading nook, study, or under a coffee table.
