Handmade antique NW Persian carpet. Woven circa 1890 (late 19th century). Persian informal rug, runner size 3'10" x 8'6".
Hand Knotted Pile 1890s Allover Geometric N.W. Persian Wool Antique Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece, dating to the late Qajar era, showcases the enduring quality and artistry inherent in its Persian origin. The robust wool foundation and rich, naturally derived dyes speak to a heritage of masterful weaving.
The field is defined by an impressive allover geometric pattern of stacked diamond medallions, rendered in varying shades of rust, terracotta, and deep brown. This specific tribal aesthetic is characteristic of the weaving traditions found in the N.W. Persian style, emphasizing bold symmetry over intricate curvilinear designs.
Closer inspection reveals charming, highly stylized anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures scattered throughout the lower register, lending a distinct narrative quality to the piece. Its elongated, narrow dimensions make it an ideal example of hallway runner rugs, perfectly suited to define and enrich a transitional space.
Retaining excellent pile height and saturated color variation (abrash), this rug is not merely a floor covering but a significant cultural artifact. It stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of high-quality, hand-knotted antique rugs from the 19th century, offering both historical depth and sophisticated warmth to any interior.
