This antique hand-knotted Tehran carpet in the Afshan pattern is a visual expression of the traditional Iranian worldview. Adorned with Shah-Abbasi floral motifs, its composition turns the entire surface into a lyrical, center-free orchestration; Khata’i blossoms, with their rounded and orderly forms, interlink the field through fine, intersecting lines. A vibrant lac-red ground set against a light beige border creates a poised contrast. With dimensions of 312 × 412 cm (10'3" × 13'6") and a surface area of 12.86 m² (138.42 ft²), it offers generous presence. The weaving quality corresponds to approximately 5,100 knots/dm², ensuring crisp details in the blossoms, flowing curves, and precise symmetry. High-quality wool pile combined with a sturdy cotton warp brings together softness and lasting durability. More than a decorative object, this piece reflects the dedication of Tehran’s master weavers in the capital’s golden era of carpet-making—a lasting heritage for those who seek history and art in every knot.
