Khamsey

A distinctive antique Avshar rug dating to around 1890, handwoven by the Avshar (Afshar) tribal weavers of southern Iran. Known for their bold geometric designs, strong tribal character, and rich natural dyes, Avshar Rugs are highly regarded among collectors of authentic Persian tribal weavings.

This late 19th-century example displays the classic Avshar aesthetic, with striking geometric motifs and a well-balanced composition that reflects the artistry and individuality of tribal craftsmanship. The naturally aged colours have developed a warm patina over time, enhancing its decorative appeal.

Offered in fair antique condition, the rug shows visible wear consistent with its age and long use. This includes areas of wear and softness to the pile, which are reflected in its pricing but do not detract from its overall presence and character. It remains a genuine and decorative example of traditional tribal weaving.
