Late 19th century nomadic Persian energy running straight down the field here…a beautiful tribal composition where repeating diamonds line up like a rhythmic path, each one packed with tribal motifs woven by hand using vegetable dyed wool. The ground shifts gently through shades of deep and dusty blues, showing off natural abrash that gives the surface movement and life without ever feeling busy.
Look closer and the borders bring their own personality, carrying protective tribal elements often described as a “fence of security,” framing the piece with purpose while balancing the lively field. The wool is fully natural, low pile, and sturdy, the kind of handle you expect from hardworking village weaving meant to live on the floor for generations.
This antique carries a few carefully completed repairs, all part of its long journey, and the photos show the full story of its character and condition. A fantastic late-1800s Persian in a wonderfully uncommon size…perfect for collectors who appreciate genuine nomadic artistry and the honest beauty of old world wool. Highly recommend a rug pad that can be custom cut on order.
