Antique Textile Persian Knotted Square Rug

Antique Textile Persian Knotted Square Rug, Circa Date: 1700s. This exceptional square piece is a rare surviving example of 18th-century Persian weaving. While titled as knotted, the structure suggests a complex brocade or flatweave, classifying it formally as a specialized antique textile. The design features large, swirling palmettes set against a light ground, offering a glimpse into the sophisticated court artistry of the era. The luminous ground provides a brilliant contrast to the secondary hues. The dominant field color is a pale, shimmering ivory and cream, accented by soft sky blue and muted sage green. Such delicate coloring was characteristic of courtly production, marking this square textile among the finest early antique rugs available today for the discerning collector.
