Antique N.W. Persian Persian Coral 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of antique rugs from Northwestern Persia showcases the robust, deeply saturated palette favored by village weavers of the late 19th century. The strong presence of madder dyes and a natural wool foundation speaks to its authentic tribal heritage.

The color story is defined by a striking contrast between deep indigo and rich, earthy browns, punctuated by highlights of ivory and goldenrod. Crucially, the rug incorporates the distinctive coral color that lends warmth and visual complexity to the geometric field, a sought-after characteristic in pieces from this region.

Structurally, the composition features a highly stylized, repeating sequence of stepped diamonds and hexagonal elements running down the central axis. This dense, continuous arrangement constitutes a classic allover design, minimizing negative space and maximizing visual energy, framed by multiple narrow, intricately detailed guard borders.

Given its elongated, narrow dimensions, this piece functions perfectly as one of the finest hallway runner rugs available in the market today. Its durable weave and enduring, powerful aesthetic make it a remarkable artifact, offering both historical value and practical elegance for contemporary interiors. See less
