Antique N.W. Persian Small Scatter Size Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exquisite example of the N.W. Persian weaving tradition showcases the robust, deeply saturated wool characteristic of the region’s village production. The field is dominated by a striking coral hue, providing a warm foundation for the central geometric medallion, which anchors the composition with its stepped, architectural profile.
The primary palette centers on rich terracotta and vibrant coral color rugs, expertly contrasted by accents of deep indigo, soft cream, and subtle browns used in the complex central design. The dyes possess a beautiful, natural variation (abrash), lending depth and movement to the overall composition, a hallmark of hand-spun, naturally dyed wool textiles.
While the central design is highly geometric, the secondary elements introduce softer, more organic forms. The main border features repeating diamond cartouches interspersed with delicate stylized floral motifs, framed by a simple, light-toned guard stripe. Its practical small scatter size makes it an ideal accent piece for an entryway or bedside placement, offering historical character without dominating the space.
Woven nearly a century ago, this piece retains the integrity and charm expected of fine early 20th-century antique rugs. The sturdy wool pile and resilient structure confirm its quality as a durable, functional textile artifact, perfect for the discerning collector seeking authenticity and rich, enduring color.
