Antique Northwest Persian runner, circa 1910, hand-knotted and one-of-a-kind, with a long column of geometric medallions framed by multiple borders in a classic village weaving format. Its softly aged palette of terra cotta, ivory, brown, and muted olive, combined with visible wear and crisp tribal drawing, gives the rug strong character and collector appeal. A distinctive antique runner for a hallway, entryway, or narrow office.
Faded warm tones of terra cotta, ivory, brown, olive, camel, taupe, and charcoal, with a terra cotta 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.
