This petite vintage Persian Afshar chanteh rug is a charming example of tribal craftsmanship and utility. Traditionally used as a small personal bag or storage pouch by nomadic Afshar tribes, this piece showcases a bold floral design, three blooming rosettes with stylised leaves, set against a rich indigo-blue field.
The colour palette features warm reds, soft greens, and earthy tans that contrast beautifully with the blue background. Delicate guard borders filled with wave and vine motifs frame the central floral composition. At the same time, the bottom edge retains its original braided and looped elements, indicating its functional origin as a chanteh.
Woven from wool and imbued with tribal spirit, this fragment not only displays the Afshar people's deep connection to nature and symbolism but also reflects their aesthetic sophistication in compact form. It's a collectable gem perfect for display, textile curation, or adding heritage charm to a shelf or wall.
