This early 20th-century Antique Afshar Rookorsi, dating back to circa 1920, is a unique collector’s item and a decorative cover originally designed for a traditional Persian korsi warmer. Measuring 110 x 96 cm, this piece is crafted entirely from wool, showcasing the artisanal skill and cultural heritage of the Afshar tribe.
