Rare Collectible Early Antique Tribal NW Persian 18th Century Gallery Runner Rug

Antique N.W. Persian Persian 1750s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1750s. This exceptional textile originates from the weaving traditions of Iran / Persia, representing a rare survival from the mid-18th century. Its construction and palette speak to the sophisticated village workshops operating in the mountainous regions of the Northwest, predating the widespread commercialization of the 19th century. The dark, saturated field provides a dramatic ground for the complex, stylized motifs. This piece utilizes an allover design, where repeating palmettes and intricate blossoms cover the entire surface without the interruption of a central medallion. The structure and execution are hallmarks of the N.W. Persian weaving lineage, often characterized by strong color contrasts achieved through natural dyes and robust, hand-spun wool.
