Antique Persian N.W. Persian Blue 1890s Hallway Runner Rug

Antique Persian N.W. Persian Blue 1890s Hallway Runner Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of a late 19th-century weave originates from the N.W. Persian region, known for its robust construction and highly stylized, nomadic designs. The piece immediately captures attention through its saturated color palette and powerful graphic energy, reflecting the enduring traditions of village craftsmanship. The central field is dominated by a rich, deeply dyed indigo, placing it firmly within the category of blue color rugs. This dark ground provides a striking contrast to the repeating, stylized geometric motifs executed in vibrant madder red, ochre, and ivory. The dense, repeating structure creates a compelling allover pattern that draws the eye continuously along the length of this long and narrow textile.
