Hand Knotted Pile 1890s Allover Geometric N.W. Persian Wool Antique Hallway Runner, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece, dating to the late Qajar era, showcases the enduring quality and artistry inherent in its Persian origin. The robust wool foundation and rich, naturally derived dyes speak to a heritage of masterful weaving. The field is defined by an impressive allover geometric pattern of stacked diamond medallions, rendered in varying shades of red, terracotta, and deep brown. This specific tribal aesthetic is characteristic of the weaving traditions found in the N.W. Persian style, emphasizing bold symmetry over intricate curvilinear designs. Closer inspection reveals charming, highly stylized anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures scattered throughout the lower register, lending a distinct narrative quality to the piece.
