Antique Persian Allover Geometric Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving hails from the rich tradition of Iranian / Persian rugs, showcasing the robust, durable construction characteristic of nomadic and village workshops.
The field is dominated by a striking, deep indigo ground, providing a powerful contrast to the repeating, oversized geometric medallions. This strong, rhythmic arrangement adheres to an allover design structure, where the motifs appear to extend beyond the frame of the textile. The use of saturated indigo establishes this as one of our highly sought-after blue color rugs.
The palette is intensely tribal, utilizing natural dyes to achieve vibrant hues of madder red, ochre, and warm cream within the stacked octagons. The precise, hand-knotted structure and the slight variations in color, known as abrash, confirm its provenance as a genuine piece of history, highly valued among discerning collectors of antique rugs.
Its narrow, elongated format makes it perfectly suited for transitional spaces, offering depth and visual interest without overwhelming the surrounding décor. Whether placed in a long corridor or used to define a specific zone, this textile functions beautifully as one of our finest Hallway Runner Rugs (4.02ft x 9.1ft), providing both warmth and sophisticated geometric artistry.
