Persian Tribal Rug with Medallion Motif | 2' x 4' | c. 1960s
Details
A richly toned mid-20th century Persian tribal rug, showcasing an iconic medallion stack design on a saturated rust-red ground. Woven by tribal artisans in northwest Iran, this piece exemplifies a rare harmony between geometric precision and bold folk aesthetic. The abrash-laced violets and indigos speak to hand-dyed wool from a transitional dye period.
