Antique Samarghand Persian Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century weaving showcases the enduring artistry of Persian craftsmanship. It joins our curated collection of antique rugs, offering a rich, saturated field of deep crimson and burgundy.
The design is characterized by an intricate, repeating vine and palmette motif, executed in the classic allover rugs style, where the pattern covers the entire field without a central medallion. This dense composition ensures visual depth and continuous movement across the surface.
While the foundation is a powerful, rich red, the secondary palette introduces sophisticated accents of indigo, soft ivory, and delicate hues. These subtle highlights include touches of salmon coral pink, which provide a gentle contrast to the intensity of the main field.
The narrow, elongated dimensions classify this piece as a small scatter size, making it ideally suited for transitional spaces, hallways, or beside a bed. Its exceptional knot density and enduring wool quality speak to its longevity, confirming its status as a timeless decorative asset.
