Handwoven antique NW Persian carpet. Woven, circa 1890. Wide runner size: 3'8" x 9'0". Antique N.W. Persian Persian Blue 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of antique rugs from Northwest Persia showcases the robust, deeply saturated color palette typical of late 19th-century village production. The structure and design suggest a strong tribal hand, prioritizing geometric abstraction over formal courtly patterns. The primary field is rendered in a magnificent, inky indigo, a testament to the skill of the dyer and the quality of the natural dyes used during this era. This deep, resonant shade places the piece among the finest blue color rugs available from the region. The central axis features repeating cruciform and latch-hook motifs, creating dynamic movement within the narrow format. Woven specifically as a hallway runner rug, this piece retains a remarkable density and handle, ideal for high-traffic areas. The main border, featuring a vibrant terracotta ground, provides a powerful contrast to the blue field, framed by delicate guard borders in yellow and pale sky blue, which temper the intensity of the primary colors. The highly stylized, repeating elements create an effective allover design that avoids a central medallion, characteristic of many nomadic and village weavings. This enduring geometric structure, combined with the rug's rich patina and century-plus age, makes it a sophisticated architectural accent for contemporary interiors seeking authentic historical texture. Persian tribal rug with rows of geometric patterns and some small animals. Abrashed blue and navy background with borders of yellow, red, and lighter blues. Hand knotted wool construction.
