An exceptional antique tribal Persian rug featuring a dramatic ivory field and bold, graphic geometry. The composition is centered on two large, faceted medallions containing highly stylized Tree of Life motifs, flanked by birds and symbolic tribal elements. The deep indigo corner panels are densely populated with animals, florals, and protective motifs, creating a striking contrast against the lighter ground.

The intricate detailing and tight geometric drawing suggest Northwest Persian or Caucasian influence, with a saturated palette of indigo, madder red, ivory, teal, and soft walnut tones. Multiple guard borders frame the composition with classic serrated leaf and angular rosette patterns, adding rhythm and definition.

Hand-knotted in wool with beautiful age-related patina and natural abrash throughout. The ivory field gives this piece remarkable brightness and decorative versatility while preserving its authentic tribal character. See less
