Antique N.W. Persian Persian Blue 1870s Rug, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional Northwest Persian piece represents the finest tradition of 19th-century village weaving. Its robust structure and deeply saturated natural dyes confirm its status among highly desirable antique rugs.
The field is dominated by a rich, inky indigo—a classic example of the deep, natural dye work characteristic of the period. This powerful ground color provides a striking contrast to the secondary tones of madder red, ochre, and soft celadon, making it a standout piece among blue color rugs.
Woven in a long, narrow format, this textile is perfectly suited for use as one of the most distinguished hallway runner rugs. The elongated composition emphasizes the rhythmic flow of the geometric medallions and stylized tribal motifs, drawing the eye along the entire length of the piece.
The design employs a densely packed, repeating geometric arrangement, classifying it stylistically among traditional allover rugs. The primary border, featuring alternating stylized human and animal forms set against a warm camel ground, frames the central field with exceptional vitality and ethnographic detail, showcasing the weaver's masterful command of village iconography.
Handmade antique NW Persian carpet. Woven, circa 1860, (mid-19th century). Persian informal rug, runner size: 3'6" x 11'2". Abrashed navy background with all-over multi-color design, golden yellow and red borders. Hand knotted wool construction.
