Persian Wool Coral / Salmon Pink Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the robust, geometric weaving tradition characteristic of the N.W. Persian region. Woven entirely from high-quality wool, the structure is dense and durable, reflecting the nomadic or village origins of its creation.

The palette is striking, centered around rich reds and deep blues contrasted sharply with ivory. The primary field color, described as salmon coral pink, provides a warm, earthy foundation that beautifully offsets the saturated indigo used in the secondary medallions and borders. Such vibrant, naturally dyed hues are a hallmark of authentic antique rugs from the turn of the century.

The design employs a compartmentalized, repeating pattern of bold, stylized geometric motifs. Unlike centralized medallion formats, this piece utilizes an allover design structure, featuring a sequence of alternating rectangular panels filled with highly abstract tribal symbols, including stylized animals and angular diamonds. This layout emphasizes the rug's impressive length.

Given its elongated dimensions, this weaving functions perfectly as an impressive Hallway Runner Rugs (3.09ft x 9.08ft) or a dramatic accent piece in a long, narrow room. Its durable pile and powerful aesthetic make it a versatile addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors, offering a tangible connection to early 20th-century Persian textile artistry.
