Antique Allover Floral Wool Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional Persian village piece, dating to the late 19th century, showcases a striking palette centered on the luminous ground. The use of the ivory beige cream white color in the field provides a brilliant contrast to the saturated madder reds and deep indigo blues of the stylized motifs. The composition is characterized by a highly detailed, repeating structure, which qualifies it as an allover pattern. The field is populated by stylized cypress trees—often interpreted as the Tree of Life—interspersed with charming, abstracted depictions of birds and quadrupeds, reflecting the deep tribal symbolism inherent in the weave. Woven with finely spun wool, the pile retains excellent clarity, highlighting the precise geometry of the design.
