Tribal Antique Persian Shahsavan Runner Rug 49149, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rugs, Circa Date: 1900 – Like many other classic Shahsavan runner rugs, this one features a number of elements and foreground motifs that are meant to lead the viewer’s eyes down from the top of the Persian rug. Through the use of a volcanic color palette, many of the earthy tones within are grounded in an even more profound way, resulting in a beautifully natural arrangement that seems as though it may occur in a distant landscape on earth. Simple and singular foreground pieces dominate the thick border and the very center of the antique rug, making their way down and taking the viewer on a journey along the warm vista.
