🌺 Made to Be Displayed — Antique 1900s Persian Hanging Rug with Intricate Floral Design

Across the centuries of Persian textile production, a specific category of woven object was created not for the floor but for the wall — small-format, square or near-square rugs with concentrated decorative programs and, often, integrated hanging hardware. These decorative hanging rugs occupied a distinguished place in Persian material culture, functioning simultaneously as textile art, architectural decoration, and expression of the owner's aesthetic sensibility. This rare 1900s Persian example, hand-knotted from natural wool pile on a wool foundation and measuring a charming 22 by 24 inches, comes complete with an attached hanger for instant display — a direct continuation of the decorative hanging rug tradition as it was lived in early 20th century Persia. 🌿
