Antique N.W. Persian Persian Allover Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional piece of tribal artistry originates from the weaving traditions of Northwest Persia, representing the robust, deeply saturated palette characteristic of 19th-century antique rugs.
The field presents a dense, allover geometric arrangement of highly stylized boteh or palmette motifs. These repeating elements are rendered in rich tones of indigo, rust, and ivory, set dramatically against a deeply saturated, near-black color rugs ground, which enhances the visual complexity of the design.
A wide main border frames the central design, featuring large, curvilinear S-motifs interspersed with floral elements, executed primarily in cream and deep terracotta. The wool quality is superb, reflecting the durable, hand-spun fibers utilized by village weavers of this era.
Woven during a period of prolific production, this rug maintains remarkable clarity in its design execution. Its compact dimensions make it an ideal example of small scatter size rugs, perfect for layering or highlighting a specific area within a sophisticated interior.
