Antique 1890s N.W. Persian Geometric Red Wool Hallway Runner Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the robust weaving traditions of the N.W. Persian region, characterized by its durable wool pile and powerful, saturated red color palette. The antiquity of this textile, dating to the late 19th century, imbues it with a profound historical presence. The field is dominated by a rich, deep red hue, displaying subtle abrash—a natural color variation that speaks to the use of organic dyes. The composition utilizes an elongated series of interconnected diamond medallions, forming a striking allover design that guides the eye along the length of the carpet. Such bold, geometric compositions are hallmarks of Iranian Persian rugs produced outside the formal court workshops.
