Antique Persian Wool Multicolor Jewel Tones Verne Hand Knotted  Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional early 20th-century textile offers a vibrant example of the enduring weaving traditions of Iranian / Persian rugs. The robust, hand-spun wool foundation provides a durable canvas for the intricate geometric motifs characteristic of village production.

The saturated palette utilizes rich, deep hues—including indigo, madder red, and saffron yellow—creating a stunning array of multicolor jewel tones that have mellowed beautifully over a century. The field is dominated by a complex, tightly organized allover design of repeating stylized lozenges, framed by a grid structure that lends visual stability to the energetic tribal patterns.

While exhibiting the dense, sturdy construction of a hand-knotted Verne rug, the precise, angular detailing evokes the aesthetic of fine flatweaves, showcasing the weaver's mastery of complex patterning. Its generous dimensions classify it as a true room size rug, perfectly suited to anchor a sophisticated living space or formal dining area with historical gravitas.

This piece represents a significant artistic contribution from the 1900s, reflecting the cultural depth inherent in nomadic and village artistry.
