Antique Northwest Persian Hallway Runner Rug

Hallway Runner Rugs (3.03ft x 15ft), Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional piece is a testament to the robust weaving traditions of the late 19th-century Caucasus and Northwest Persia. Its tribal geometry and saturated natural dyes mark it as a highly collectible example among antique rugs. The central field is dominated by a rich, deeply saturated indigo, providing a dramatic contrast to the alternating geometric medallions and stylized floral forms. This masterful use of a dark, resonant ground color is characteristic of the finest blue color rugs from the region, showcasing the weaver's skill in dye preparation. The composition utilizes a highly articulated, repeating motif structure, eschewing a central medallion for an elegant allover pattern that draws the eye vertically.
