Red Antique Tribal Late 19th Century Northwest Persian Scatter Rug

Antique N.W. Persian Red 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of late 19th-century weaving represents the enduring quality and sophisticated design characteristic of the finest antique rugs from the region. The meticulous knotting and use of natural dyes speak to a high level of craftsmanship that defines the Golden Age of Persian textile production. The field is saturated with a rich, vibrant red hue, providing a warm foundation for the complex design. This specific shade, achieved through masterful dyeing techniques, is beautifully offset by secondary tones of deep midnight blue, olive green, and soft ivory, creating a striking red color palette that remains highly desirable today. Typical of Northwest Persian weaving traditions, the composition features an all-over pattern of stylized palmettes and vinery.
