Bold and built to stand its ground, this stout and solid antique Persian tribal rug from the 1920s pulls no punches. The design is fierce and unapologetic, with a jagged navy medallion cutting across an abrashed pink field like a lightning bolt. Look closely and you’ll find scorpion motifs at both ends of the main field, woven as protectors in a region where the real thing wasn’t just a design choice, it was a fact of life.
The border bands feature with S-hook motifs meant to ward off the evil eye and rows of tiny stylized florals flanking the main border band. Ends and sides are fully secured, ready for action without fuss. This little beauty stands strong with confidence and charm. Ends and sides fully secured and super clean.
Woven with vegetable dyed wool.
