Antique N.W. Persian Persian Blue 1850s Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional piece of textile history originates from the villages of Northwest Persia, representing the finest weaving traditions of the mid-19th century. Its superb condition and clarity of design mark it as a significant acquisition for collectors of antique rugs. The field is dominated by a saturated, almost midnight indigo, providing a dramatic contrast to the secondary hues. This deep, natural dye work exemplifies the masterful use of the blue color rugs palette prevalent in Persian weaving during this period, utilizing cochineal reds and ivory accents to delineate the complex motifs. The design utilizes a highly detailed, repeating boteh motif, densely packed and organized in a structured diagonal lattice.
