Blue Antique Tribal NW Persian Early 19th Century Hand-Knotted Wool Pile Hallway Runner Rug

Antique N.W. Persian Style Chinese Hand-Knotted Hallway Runner, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1825. This exceptional piece, dating from the early 19th century, exemplifies the sophisticated cross-cultural exchange often found in Chinese weaving tradition. While the structure and knotting technique point firmly to China, the intricate patterning suggests a strong influence from classical Persian design, creating a unique synthesis prized by collectors of antique rugs. The visual impact of this hallway runner is defined by its saturated color palette, centered on a rich, nearly black deep blue ground. This dark field provides a striking contrast to the repeating, highly detailed motifs executed in shades of gold, saffron, and madder red.
