Persian Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional example of N.W. Persian weaving artistry dates to the mid-19th century, showcasing the robust structure and saturated natural dyes characteristic of the region. Its highly desirable small scatter size makes it a perfect accent piece for an intimate space or wall hanging.

The palette is defined by rich terracotta reds and deep indigo, beautifully contrasted by the luminous wool foundation. The use of natural dyes ensures a remarkable depth of color, particularly evident in the highly prized ivory color rugs which anchor the geometric patterns against the darker hues.

The design employs a striking banded structure, where rows of stylized boteh and geometric medallions are stacked vertically. While compartmentalized, the overall effect is a dense, repeating allover rugs pattern, a testament to the weaver's skillful use of tribal motifs within a defined framework.

Surviving in remarkable condition for its age, this piece offers a tangible connection to the history of nomadic and village weaving traditions. It stands as a fine collectible artifact within our curated selection of antique rugs, embodying both utilitarian strength and artistic sophistication. See less
