Antique Persian Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of antique rugs weaving originates from the workshops of Northwest Persia, likely the Heriz region. It showcases the region's celebrated commitment to robust structure and highly stylized, rectilinear design elements, defining a powerful aesthetic that remains timeless. The commanding field is rendered in a rich, oxidized rust tone, which has mellowed beautifully over more than a century to display subtle variations akin to coral color rugs. This warm ground provides a striking contrast to the crisp ivory contours and the deep indigo elements that define the large, complex central medallion. The use of natural dyes is evident in the depth and saturation of the palette.
