Persian Transitional Area Rug 89662

This antique wool rug from Persian Azarbaijan measures 5 feet 2 inches by 11 feet 5 inches and carries a bold transitional character rooted in tribal tradition. The deep crimson field anchors a row of large hourglass or double-headed medallion forms outlined in ivory, each filled with dense geometric patterning in navy, black, amber, and ivory. Stepped hooks, reciprocal meanders, and small star motifs animate the interior of each medallion. The surrounding field holds scattered tribal devices, and a dark border band carries repeating cross and arrow-form elements across the full length. The flatwoven surface shows the tight, even structure typical of Azarbaijani work. At just over eleven feet long, this piece suits a hallway, a narrow dining room, or any elongated space that benefits from a strong horizontal presence.
