Authentic Afshar Nomadic Heritage and Converted Tribal Artistry
Rooted in over 45 years of specialized expertise in fine and historic textiles from our showroom in the heart of the West Hollywood Design District, Ariana Rugs proudly curates the world’s most distinctive tribal artifacts for elite interior designers and collectors. This exceptional 4'5" x 3'2" vintage Persian Afshar Juval (or Juwal) storage bag face kilim is a captivating specimen of authentic nomadic flatweave craftsmanship. Historically woven as a heavy-duty nomadic storage bag—and often utilized as a comfortable mattress cushion in tribal camps—this textile has been thoughtfully altered into a highly versatile small area accent rug. Handwoven from pure wool, it features dense tribal geometry, rich organic tones, and deep cultural narrative. Preserved with genuine vintage patina and small repairable moth holes, this rare converted artifact is an indispensable asset for designers looking to introduce authentic historical soul, textural character, and bohemian-luxury warmth into entryways, studies, or framed textile wall displays.
