Afshar Roukorsi

This beautiful Afshar Roukorsi soffreh rug measuring 122 x 111 cm is a rare example of East Persian nomadic textile art. Woven as a traditional Sofreh flatweave by Afshar nomads, pieces of this type were originally used as practical household textiles in tribal life. Larger square examples are known as Roukorsi and held a special place within Persian nomadic culture. The large central field of undyed natural wool creates a calm and understated elegance. Across the softly coloured ground small tribal motifs are carefully repeated, while the richly decorated border frames the composition with stylised floral and geometric elements. Entirely woven with natural vegetable dyes, the rug possesses a warm and authentic palette with subtle variation and character. The balance between simplicity and intricate tribal detail gives this textile remarkable decorative appeal. Its uncommon square format makes it ideal as a collector's piece, wall hanging or distinctive interior accent for contemporary and traditional spaces alike. A rare and mint condition one of a kind piece available immediately from stock.
