Antique NW Persian Kurdish Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of N.W. Persian weaving captures the robust, highly stylized aesthetic typical of late 19th-century tribal production in the region. The dense knotting and high-quality wool suggest a piece intended for lasting utility and enduring beauty. The design is dominated by two powerful, stepped medallions set against a rich, oxidized coral field. This highly articulated central axis is characteristic of geometric rugs from the Caucasus and neighboring Iranian regions, featuring strong, angular contours. The palette is striking, utilizing coral within the secondary motifs. Woven during the height of the Qajar dynasty, this piece represents a significant historical artifact, showcasing the enduring craftsmanship of the period.
