Antique N.W. Persian Ivory 1870s Hallway Runner Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the robust tribal weaving traditions of the N.W. Persian region, showcasing a highly stylized, repeating central motif set against a luminous field in a classic runner format. The central panel is dominated by a rare, saturated ivory ground, providing a striking contrast to the deep earth tones and vibrant secondary colors used throughout the borders. This use of a light ground makes it a highly desirable example among ivory color rugs from the late 19th century. Woven during the 1870s, the rug's palette features naturally dyed madder reds, deep indigo blues, and ochre yellows, all beautifully mellowed by time.
