This N.W. Persian antique rug measures 3' 3" x 16' 1" and presents a long, slender composition with a navy field set against brick red, ivory, and blue accents. Repeating geometric floral medallions run through the centre, while a series of narrow borders frames the design with steady rhythm and detail. The palette reads warm and grounded, with visible age softening the contrasts without dulling the pattern. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the quiet character of a wool antique rug with low distress and an expressive, timeworn surface. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
