Antique N.W. Persian Hallway Runner Wool Yellow Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century textile originates from Northwest Persia, representing the robust weaving traditions of the region. Its substantial wool foundation and finely knotted structure confirm its status among highly desirable antique rugs.

The striking field is dominated by a rich, saturated gold, providing a brilliant ground for the repeating motifs. This unusual and vibrant yellow coloration is beautifully contrasted by secondary tones of madder red, deep indigo, and rust, characteristic of natural dyes employed during this period.

The main field features a tightly rendered, continuous vine and blossom pattern, executed in an allover design that eliminates the need for a central medallion. This dense repetition creates a compelling visual texture, drawing the eye along the length of the piece without interruption.

Framed by multiple guard borders featuring repeating geometric medallions, the piece retains excellent visual integrity and saturation. As a finely preserved hallway runner, this rug is ideally suited to define a long corridor or entryway, offering both historical depth and practical elegance. See less
