Persian Tribal Long Rug, Circa 1890, 3.93m X 1.21m

19th century
Description

Dating to the last quarter of the 19th century, this mysterious runner or long rug from southern Persia has the hallmarks of a genuine tribal weaving. It has an all wool foundation, soft hand-spun wool pile and wonderful natural dyes. However, it is difficult to attribute it with certainty to any of the tribal groupings. The symmetric knot has been used throughout suggesting two main possibilities. One is that it was woven by the Khamseh tribal weavers around Shiraz. The borders and selvages also support a Khamseh attribution. However, other stylistic elements and the dyes also point to the possibility of Luri-Bakhtiar weavers of the Zagros Mountains. Regardless of the exact tribal attribution, it is a strikingly handsome piece. The field is composed of a row of five compartments four of which are decorated with hexagonal medallions and similar ornaments - a format often seen on bagfaces - while one compartment is filled with diagonal rows of polychrome octagons. It is idiosyncratic and typical of the spontaneous nature of the Persian tribal weavers. Other idiosyntraic features include the deliberate break in the inner guard stripes at one end, and the variations in the end and side main borders. Note also the stylised double-headed animal figures in the end borders which also point towards a Luri-Bakhtiar attribution. Today, this handsome piece is both collectible and decorative, and would work as a corridor runner of as a showpiece for a hallway. Remarkably it has surved in very good condition for the age. It retains a full even pile, original selvages and kilim ends. Professionally cleaned in our own workshops.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Persian tribal runners from the late 19th century were hand-knotted by nomadic weavers, featuring bold geometric motifs, repeating diamond medallions, and narrow proportions designed for mobility and traditional living spaces.

These rugs were constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and warp/weft foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes extracted from plants, roots, and minerals.

Authentic antique examples exhibit subtle colour variations known as abrash, hand-finished selvedges, flexible wool foundations, and visible hand-tied knots on the reverse side.

A long tribal runner adds rich colour, historic pattern, and texture to hallways, entryways, galley kitchens, or along the side of a bed on timber flooring.

Vacuum gently using a suction attachment without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to ensure even foot traffic distribution, and clean liquid spills immediately with a clean cloth and cold water.
