Finding an antique Persian rug of palatial proportions is like unearthing a hidden treasure, an achievement few can claim. This late 19th-century marvel is no ordinary find; it’s a masterpiece born from years of dedication and artistry and was probably commissioned for the size. Crafted by expert hands, its tightly woven threads tell a tale of patience and perfection, with vegetable dyed wool that has matured into a beautifully aged patina. Truly.
The rug boasts a fabulous design of grand medallions, intricately detailed, and framed by an all-over pattern set against a soft powder pink ground. Deep burgundy accents punctuate the piece, creating a dramatic interplay of color that instantly catches the eye. Its border bands, adorned with exquisite curvilinear artwork and beautiful floral motifs, frame the composition wonderfully.
With a light and floppy handle, it feels as graceful as it looks, embodying centuries of refinement. Such oversized pieces, especially ones with this level of artistry and historical value, are a rare delight. Marco Polo’s tales helped spark Europe’s admiration for Persian rugs, and it’s no wonder this piece exudes that classic European allure while remaining a bold statement of Persian craftsmanship.
A rug of this caliber does more than enhance a room; it transforms it, commanding attention with its regal presence and effortless charm. Invite this piece of gorgeous floor art into your home, and let it redefine your space with unparalleled elegance.
This Persian is low pile, with scattered wear from age and history. Please see detailed pics for character and condition.
