Antique N. Persian Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1750s. This extraordinary example represents a pinnacle of weaving artistry from the mid-18th century. Originating from the region of Iranian / Persian rugs, its dense knotting and sophisticated design showcase the technical mastery achieved during the late Safavid or early Qajar period. The field is dominated by a deep indigo ground, providing a dramatic contrast for the complex, repeating boteh and palmette motifs that cover the surface. A strong central axis is defined by stacked, stylized medallions rendered in faded madder red and soft sky blue. This intricate composition is a masterful example of the enduring appeal of floral rugs in classical Persian weaving.
