n-w-persian / 20988

This n-w-persian antique rug measures 3' 7" x 10' 9" and is woven in wool with a deeply saturated navy ground, framed by red, cream, white, and muted blue accents. A vertical sequence of geometric medallions, flower heads, and compact lattice details gives the composition a steady rhythm, while the borders carry a dense floral language that reads clearly from edge to edge. Circa 1885 - 1900, the surface shows low distress and a softened hand that lends the piece its quiet depth and character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
