About the Item

Antique North West Persian Rug Size: 5'8" × 15'7" (172 × 474 cm) This exquisite 19th-century antique Persian rug from Northwest Persia is a masterwork of traditional design, capturing the opulent artistry and meticulous craftsmanship for which the region is revered. Woven circa 1880, the carpet displays an exuberant yet harmonious botanical pattern, set against a striking navy field that serves to intensify its color palette and ornate structure. The allover Herati-style pattern unfolds in rhythmic symmetry with stylized floral motifs, blossoms, and leafy vines elegantly branching out from vertical tree forms. Delicately arranged vases and floral sprays anchor the composition, giving the piece a refined sense of structure and movement. Interwoven throughout are charming animal figures—such as stylized birds and deer—adding folkloric charm and symbolic depth. The rug’s rich color spectrum is a feast for the eyes, blending deep indigo, rust red, soft pinks, olive green, ivory, and hints of light blue. These tones are skillfully balanced, evoking the lushness of a Persian garden while remaining deeply grounded in traditional aesthetics. The multiple borders frame the central field with intricate detailing: the main wide border features floral latticework and palmettes on a salmon-red ground, flanked by slimmer guard borders adorned with repeating rosette and vine motifs. The outermost border with angular motifs and polychrome striping adds a final flourish, highlighting the weaver’s command of color and geometry. Woven entirely by hand from high-quality wool, this antique rug offers both durability and a luxurious feel underfoot. The visible abrash and minor age-related patina further attest to its authenticity and historical provenance. Whether used as a statement piece in a hallway, entryway, or gallery-style setting, this rare antique Persian runner embodies timeless elegance and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian rug weaving. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
