Antique N.W. Persian Allover Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional piece, originating from the rich Iranian / Persian weaving traditions, exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of the mid-19th century. The dense, repeating pattern is characteristic of N.W. Persian styles, showcasing a masterful use of space and color saturation. The field is dominated by a deep indigo blue color, providing a dramatic contrast to the vibrant, naturally dyed secondary colors. The allover design features stylized palmettes, rosettes, and delicate vine work, meticulously arranged in a subtle lattice framework. Tones of madder red, saffron yellow, and terracotta are used to illuminate the detailed botanical motifs. Woven in a long, narrow format, this piece functions perfectly as a long and narrow rug (4.1ft x 9.04ft).
