Antique N.W. Persian Ivory 1850s Hallway Runner Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional piece represents the robust weaving traditions of Northwest Persia during the mid-19th century. The striking contrast of the complex geometric motifs against the luminous ivory ground immediately captures attention, distinguishing it from many contemporaneous pieces that favored deeper, saturated fields. The composition features a highly articulated allover design composed of interlocking stepped diamonds and stylized cruciform elements. This dense, repeating structure is characteristic of nomadic and village weavings, where the weaver's spontaneous interpretation of traditional symbols creates a dynamic, energetic surface texture that is both complex and harmonious.
