Rug c. 19th century

This 19th-century rug, woven with intricate floral patterns and geometric designs, is a fine example of Persian carpet-making. The central medallion, with its elaborate details, is surrounded by a field of stylized floral motifs and framed by a rich border. The colors, primarily muted tones of gold, brown, and red, evoke a sense of warmth and tradition, while the fine craftsmanship highlights the skill of anonymous weavers. This rug, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the artistry and cultural significance of Persian rug-making.
