Antique N.W. Persian Blue 1880s Hallway Runner Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional narrow format piece originates from Northwest Persia, showcasing the region's mastery of complex botanical design within a restricted palette. The deep indigo field, characteristic of fine blue color rugs from the late 19th century, provides a dramatic contrast to the secondary tones of terracotta and rose. The composition employs a dense, highly detailed repeating motif, classifying it among the finest examples of allover rugs. Stylized palmettes, delicate flowering vines, and geometric elements are intricately woven, creating a continuous, vertically oriented design that draws the eye down the length of this exquisite hallway runner. The elongated, slender dimensions confirm its original purpose as one of the highly desirable hallway runner rugs.
