Fine Blue Antique Late 19th Century Persian Paisley Design Tabriz Hallway Runner Rug

This rare Persian Tabriz late nineteenth-century antique hallway runner rug is a masterwork of "City Workshop" weaving, originating from one of the most intellectually and artistically significant centers of the Persian carpet world. Historically, Tabriz was a gateway for trade between the East and West, and its master weavers—the ustads—were renowned for their technical precision and their ability to translate complex miniature paintings into textile form. This specific specimen is defined by its sophisticated "midnight blue" field, a saturated indigo hue that provides a dramatic, nocturnal backdrop for the meticulous "all-over" arrangement of the Boteh (Paisley) design motif.
