This hand-knotted Afshar rug, crafted around 1960 in Iran, features a captivating geometric design. Its field is a vibrant tapestry where White forms a dominant background, allowing the intricate patterns to stand out. The design is comprised of a continuous, repeating lattice of interconnected lozenges, primarily in rich Red and varying shades of blue and purple. Each individual lozenge is filled with smaller, stylized floral forms and abstract geometric motifs, creating a dense and visually engaging surface. The repetition of these elements across the field creates a sense of movement and depth. The rug's border, in contrasting hues, showcases a series of small, repeating geometric patterns and simple floral forms.
