N.W. Persian / 11799

A long N.W. Persian wool runner in a warm red field, threaded with repeating cream medallions and crisp geometric motifs. The 3' 10" x 13' 5" proportions emphasize a procession of star-like centers and lozenge accents, framed by narrow guard borders in cream and navy. Tactile abrash and a soft, low-distress surface preserve clear pattern definition and the wool's hand. The restrained tribal vocabulary reads both graphic and intimate; the overall presence feels quietly storied. This antique rug holds a linear, medallion-driven rhythm that rewards close inspection. Circa 1915 - 1930
