Rug 1900

This 1900 rug, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is an anonymous masterpiece of Persian textile art. The intricate design features a central medallion surrounded by repeating patterns of flowers, leaves, and geometric shapes, all executed in a rich palette of reds, browns, and golds. The rug's large scale and detailed craftsmanship showcase the skill and artistry of its unknown creator, making it a treasured example of traditional Persian carpet weaving.
