Antique Allover Floral Wool Hand Knotted Pile Green 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of 19th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of classical Persian antique rugs. The dense wool pile and masterful execution confirm its status as a significant textile artifact from the late Qajar period, showcasing the complexity and dedication of master weavers. The primary field color is a remarkably nuanced sage, achieved through sophisticated natural dyes that have mellowed beautifully over time, placing it among the most desirable green color rugs of the era. This soft, verdant hue provides a serene backdrop for the complex, meandering vine work and stylized palmettes that fill the expanse. Characterized by its continuous, repeating motif, the rug employs a true allover design where no central medallion interrupts the flow of the intricate floral elements.
