Antique Large N.W. Persian Persian Medallion Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1800s. This exceptional piece represents the finest weaving traditions of the Qajar era. As a genuine example of antique rugs from the 19th century, its provenance and condition speak to its enduring quality and historical significance, making it a true collector's item.

The field is dominated by a profound, saturated indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the intricate, curvilinear design elements that populate the central ground. The sophisticated use of secondary hues, including soft turquoise and ochre, prevents the deep ground from feeling heavy, positioning this textile as a stellar example among blue color rugs that define luxury interiors.

A powerful star-shaped medallion anchors the composition, radiating complexity through layers of stylized palmettes and arabesques. The density of the patterning, characteristic of the region's master workshops, firmly places this piece within the canon of classic traditional rugs, exhibiting a timeless elegance that transcends ephemeral decorative trends.

Given its substantial dimensions, this antique weaving functions perfectly as one of the highly desirable room size rugs, capable of defining a major living space or long gallery. The rich, earthy terracotta border, framing the deep blue field, completes this magnificent textile, a testament to the masterful artistry of the early 19th-century Persian loom. See less
