The \"i\" in the name Afshari is the same as the preposition \"of\". Originally the Persian Afshars lived in the northwest of Iran, and close to the Afghan border. A part of the tribe was forced to move to the southeast of Iran, near the city of Kerman, which is along the Silk Road. Here, knotting rugs became an important source of income for the Afshars. Since their resettlement, Afshars are known for their unique hand-knotted Afshar rugs. Some Afshar rugs are also traded as Sirjan rugs. These rugs have red and blue tones and mostly geometric patterns. The most prevalent pattern has a field in the center with one or more square rosettes. It is generally speculated that the central field represents a stretched animal skin. This old Afshari is \u003cb\u003e more than 40 years old\u003c\/b\u003e and a true collector's item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The \u003cb\u003e abstract, geometric composition\u003c\/b\u003e 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..\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  The edge of the rug is decorated with an \u003cb\u003eedging (border)\u003c\/b\u003e.

The repeating pattern has a calming but not boring effect. Rugs with \u003cb\u003e repeating patterns\u003c\/b\u003e are also called patterned.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Afshari is yellow beige.

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 \u003cb\u003ecotton\u003c\/b\u003e. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255091507293,"sku":"2007","price":790.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/2007_gesamt_2c7efcb7-587d-4cb6-81a7-fc918348185a.jpg?v=1586911917","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en-de\/products\/alter-afshari-teppich-204-x-135-2007","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
