Beautifully Tribal 18th Century Antique North West Persian Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rugs, Circa Date: Late 18th Century – This spectacular antique rug is a rare find and a beautiful early example. It is a beautiful 18th-century antique Persian rug from the Northwest Persia area.

 

 

This beautiful room size rug does have horizontal and vertical symmetry,. That said, the central focal point is understated and not used as a main design feature of the North West Persian rug.

The overall design of the antique Persian rug makes it the perfect piece to highlight an antique dining room table or other room feature. However, it also stands out on its own as a collectible and beautiful piece of artwork.

The rug design is versatile and would work well in any traditional design that needs a special piece to set it off. The flowers within the central field are gated using repetitive diamond patterns, which gives it a sense of order and balance, even though the overall design would appear to be random. This spectacular 18th century Persian rug does have a distinguishable repeating pattern along its vertical axis that is reversible.

This antique rug, from North West Persia, is well preserved and has many more years to be a well loved piece in any home or office.
