Bijar Afshar Rug Ref 102521
This half-square-meter handwoven rug is a valuable example of rural Bijar Afshar weaving and, despite its small size, clearly expresses the full identity and authenticity of this region. The medallion-based design with the Herati (Mahi) pattern creates a dynamic and cohesive composition, reflecting the weaver’s mastery of traditional repetitive motifs. The deep red field combined with a cream border forms a balanced and visually appealing contrast that highlights the details of the design. The use of a wool pile with cotton warp and weft results in a structure that is both durable and pleasantly soft, ensuring reliability for everyday use. Measuring 77 × 70 cm with an area of 0.54 square meters and a knot density of 40 raj, this piece is well suited for small spaces, beside furniture, entryways, or even as a decorative accent on a table or wall. Its compact structure, balanced weight, and authentic design make it both a practical and artistic choice for collectors of distinctive small rugs.
