Antique N.W. Persian Blue Hallway Runner Rug, Circa Date: 1870s. This striking example of 19th-century weaving presents a highly saturated palette and robust construction. Its elongated form makes it an ideal piece for high-traffic areas, functioning perfectly as one of our premier hallway runner rugs.
The foundation of the design is a rich, nearly indigo field, characteristic of the finest natural dyes of the period. The deep saturation of this primary hue establishes the rug’s powerful presence, placing it among the most desirable blue color rugs from the region.
Woven in the tradition of N. Persian village workshops, this long and narrow size rug features a structured, repeating sequence of stylized geometric medallions rendered in rust, crimson, and gold tones. This dense, continuous arrangement exemplifies the classic allover rugs pattern, where the eye is guided down the length without a central medallion interruption.
The skillful execution and the excellent preservation of the wool and dyes confirm its status as a significant textile artifact. Pieces of this age and quality are increasingly rare, representing a valuable addition to any collection of fine antique rugs.
Condition: Good.
