Antique Oversized N.W. Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional example of 19th-century weaving represents the finest traditions of the N.W. Persian region, characterized by its dense, all-over field pattern and deep, saturated coloration. The age of this piece places it firmly within the golden era of production for Iranian Persian rugs. The field is masterfully covered in a complex Herati design, featuring repeating rosettes and stylized palmettes that create a mesmerizing visual texture. The primary ground color is a rich, midnight indigo, providing a dramatic contrast to the terracotta and ivory details. The subtle use of oxidized dyes contributes to the unique patina seen across the deep blue color rugs of this period, giving the piece remarkable depth.
