About the Item
Technical Overview
This antique Persian tribal rug dates to the late 19th century, circa 1870–1890, and reflects village weaving traditions rather than a specific named workshop center. Hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, it is produced in a long, narrow runner format suited to circulation spaces and transitional areas. The rug falls within a medium runner size class, with proportions appropriate for hallways, entryways, stair landings, or bedroom passages. Its low-to-medium pile and balanced weight underscore its original utilitarian purpose while remaining refined enough for decorative use today. As a one-of-a-kind antique, it carries both historic character and collectible value.
Design Analysis
The design is organized around a longitudinal chain of stacked geometric medallions and rectilinear cartouches aligned along a single vertical axis. These repeated motifs are evenly spaced, creating a clear directional rhythm that guides the eye through the length of the rug. A single wide main border, framed by thin inner and outer guard stripes, anchors the composition and reinforces its linear emphasis. The palette is restrained and earthy, centered on warm beige and stone tones, layered with darker brown accents and lighter parchment highlights. Subtle abrash throughout the field and motifs introduces gentle tonal variation, enhancing depth without disrupting the calm, neutral presentation.
Weave and Performance
Knotted with symmetrical (Turkish) knots at an estimated density of 100–150 KPSI, the rug offers a sturdy yet flexible structure typical of tribal production. The pile height of approximately 4 mm creates a matte surface with moderate drape and easy upkeep. A woven cotton foundation provides dimensional stability, making the rug well suited for low to moderate traffic zones such as hallways, home offices, and secondary living areas.
Professional Application
This runner integrates seamlessly into neutral, organic, and quietly luxurious interiors. Its understated beige-and-brown palette complements wood floors, stone, and layered natural materials, while the directional medallion chain works especially well in corridors and transitional spaces. Designers will appreciate its versatility, rarity, and long-term value retention when specifying authentic antique runners.
Condition
Care
The rug is in excellent antique condition, with even wear consistent with age, intact selvedges, and no visible stains, repairs, odor, or moth damage. Abrash and surface variation are age-appropriate and intentional in appearance. Professional cleaning using gentle, low-moisture methods is recommended, with avoidance of harsh alkaline products or over-wetting to preserve the cotton foundation, in line with 1stDibs standards for fine antique rugs.
