They brought with them a distinctly nomadic weaving vocabulary — bold geometric forms, stylised botanical motifs, and the characteristic Caucasian-Persian colour confidence that distinguishes Afshari work from the more refined urban Persian schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was hand-knotted by Afshari weavers in the \u003cstrong\u003eSirjan region of southeastern Iran\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003e100% wool on a wool foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e — the traditional tribal construction, in which both pile and structure are built from the same hand-spun yarn. Wool-on-wool gives the surface its characteristic suppleness, density and depth; it is also the most demanding construction to execute well, as the structural wool must be spun firmly enough to hold the knots over generations. The dyes are natural vegetable pigments — the colour register lives and breathes through the surface in a way that synthetic dyes cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is built on a quiet field with bold motifs in \u003cstrong\u003edeep indigo, faded coral-pink and warm beige\u003c\/strong\u003e. The composition follows the Afshari nomadic vocabulary — geometric medallions, stepped diamond motifs and stylised botanical figures arranged with the directness that distinguishes tribal work from urban-workshop production. A composition for an interior that values craft and tribal honesty over urban refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e198 × 140 cm (2.8 m²)\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a versatile near-square piece.
