Blue Color Paisley Pattern Antique NW Persian Long And Narrow Gallery Size Rug

Antique N.W. Persian Blue 1850s Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional mid-nineteenth-century weaving represents the pinnacle of classical Northwest Persian craftsmanship. Its profound age and superb preservation make it a highly desirable example among antique rugs. The saturated dyes and fine knotting speak to a tradition of quality established long before the Qajar era's commercial expansion. The primary field is dominated by a rich, almost midnight indigo, providing a dramatic canvas for the repeating motifs. This masterful use of natural dye creates a depth of tone characteristic of the period, elevating it beyond typical blue color rugs. Secondary colors of madder red, saffron yellow, and subtle ivory define the intricate details within the boteh pattern, offering warmth against the cool ground.
