Antique N.W. Persian Small Scatter Size Wool Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1860s. This exceptional piece, woven in the mid-19th century, represents the robust, geometric tradition of Northwest Persia. Its character is defined by the rich, naturally dyed wool and the nomadic sensibility of its design. The field displays a highly saturated palette dominated by deep madder reds and indigo, set against a dark, earthy ground. The composition utilizes a dense, repeating series of stepped medallions and stylized hooked motifs, forming an effective allover pattern that draws the eye across the entire surface. Given its age and provenance, the condition is remarkable, showing the desirable patina and abrash typical of genuine village weavings.
