Antique Persian N.W. Persian Blue 1850s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional piece is a superb example of N.W. Persian weaving, showcasing the intricate detail and deep color palettes characteristic of the mid-19th century. The quality of the wool and the density of the knotting confirm its provenance from the finest workshops in Iranian / Persian rugs. The field is dominated by a saturated indigo ground, a hallmark of high-quality dyes from this period, making it a spectacular example among blue color rugs. This deep, rich tone provides a striking contrast to the repeating lattice pattern, which is filled with stylized floral rosettes rendered in terracotta, saffron, and ivory. The narrow, elongated format suggests it was originally intended for a specific architectural space, aligning it with the tradition of hallway runner rugs.
