This antique Northwest Persian runner, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a softly aged palette and striking tribal geometry. Its elongated field features stacked medallion forms, angular motifs, and a well-defined border rendered in beautifully faded rose, slate blue, ivory, and taupe tones, showcasing the character collectors prize in hand-knotted village rugs. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or narrow living space.
Faded warm tones of rose, taupe, slate blue, ivory, dusty mauve, camel, charcoal, and sage, with a rose field.
Northwest Persian is a regional designation covering the broad arc of carpet-producing areas in Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, and the surrounding provinces of northwestern Iran — including Heriz, Serapi, Bakhshayesh, Karaje, and the many Kurdish and Shahsavan tribal weaving groups of the region. The area has been one of the most prolific and important sources of antique carpets in the world.
Northwest Persian rugs share a family resemblance: bold geometric or semi-geometric designs, strong natural dye palettes, and robust construction on wool or cotton foundations. The range of quality and style is enormous — from grand Serapi palace carpets to humble village runners — but all share a vitality and directness that makes them perennially compelling.
