If you love old Persians that are low pile, stout, and solid, this one checks all the boxes. A circa 1900 Persian with a beautifully settled rust red ground and an all over design that keeps the eye moving. The field is packed with small scale floral and geometric motifs that give it rhythm and balance, making it easy to live with and easy to style.
The border is strong and graphic, with deep inky blues, softened ivory, and warm earth tones that frame the rug superbly. There’s great contrast here…nothing flat, nothing muddy. The natural vegetable dyes have mellowed over time, creating that layered color story only age can deliver. Up close you really see the hand of the weaver, the slight irregularities, and the charm that comes from something made slowly and meant to last.
This rug shows its age in the best way. Low pile with scattered wear that reads as honest and soulful, not fragile. It’s fully intact, well woven, and has that reassuring weight underfoot that old village Persians are known for. Woven with all natural, vegetable dyed wool, it’s sturdy, grounded, and built to keep going.
A great size at 5x10, whether it lives in a living room, dining space, library, or long open area that wants warmth and character without fuss.
Woven circa 1900. Clean, floor ready, and full of history. Please see pics for full character and condition.
