Middle East Geometric Dark Red Rug with Border, 1940s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

The abstract, geometric composition creates the simple elegance of this Afshari. The pattern flatters the design of the room and does not take the attention away from its furniture, decoration and architectural elements. It blends in fantastically with any surroundings and subtly complements the interior design of a room. . The edge of the rug is decorated with an edging (border). The border forms a beautiful contrast to the center. The repeating elements in the center field of this Afshari rug have no specific center (so-called repeating pattern). The repeating pattern has a calming but not boring effect. Rugs with repeating patterns are also called patterned. The background of this Afshari is yellow beige. The colors dark red and yellow beige dominate the overall impression. The border features dark red, dark blue and dark green. This Afshari has had admirers before you. It was hand knotted about 1940. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it lovingly. Therefore it is in very good condition despite its age. The pile of this Afshari has been hand-knotted from high-quality virgin wool. Virgin wool is obtained through the gentle shearing of sheep. Virgin wool is a sustainable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties; due to the wool's natural fat content, the surface repels water droplets and is thus naturally impervious to dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on living climate and muffles sound. The weft and warp threads of this Afshari are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.
