One-of-a-kind vintage piece

Individually selected for its genuine vintage character, this piece carries a quiet sense of history through its pattern language, colour tone and time-softened textile depth

Three diamonds march down the centre of this Afshar rug, their hooked outlines linked across a field of weathered brick red. Each medallion shifts the colour in a different direction—muted blue, ivory, mustard and terracotta—while deep navy side forms and boldly compartmented borders give the design its graphic strength.

The years have left their presence in the softened pile and gentle tonal variation, adding character without obscuring the geometry. Persian hand-knotting shows in the slight shifts of line and scale from motif to motif. Made in Iran from pure wool, this vintage Afshar feels direct, spirited and entirely individual.

Care & Maintenance

  • Vintage rugs should be cared for gently to preserve their age-softened fibres, colour character and handmade structure. Vacuum using a suction-only setting, rotate the rug occasionally for even wear, and blot any marks promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
  • For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended, especially for vintage handmade rugs, to help protect the wool, dyes and textile character developed over time.

Note

  • Each vintage rug is professionally photographed to represent its colours as accurately as possible, while natural light, pile direction and digital display settings may create subtle variations in tone.
  • Vintage handmade rugs may show gentle tonal variation, age-softened texture and individual textile character developed over time.
  • These natural characteristics are part of the rug’s vintage appeal, giving each piece its own pattern language, colour tone and woven depth.
