Afshar Rugs
Tribal Energy Meets Collectible Design
The Story
Afshar rugs are tribal weavings from southern Iran (especially around Kerman province), known for bold geometry, saturated color, and strong graphic motifs. Many are woven with the symmetrical (Turkish) knot and a sturdy structure that suits everyday use while still feeling special.
The Afshar nomads create rugs that bring that perfect mix of nomadic energy and collectible design. Confident patterns and rich, saturated colors make these pieces stand out in any setting.
They combine the best of both worlds: the authentic character of nomadic weaving with the visual impact that appeals to collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
