Woven by the Turkic Afshar tribes, a semi‑nomadic people with weaving communities in the mountains of Iranian Azerbaijan, around Kuchan in Razavi Khorasan Province, and near Kerman in Iran's southeast, Afshar rugs are celebrated for their crisp geometric shapes, saturated terracotta palettes, and sprightly boteh borders. Their medium piles and portable sizes make them versatile accents for living rooms, entryways, and reading nooks alike.
