This antique Northwest Persian runner, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind rug with a richly drawn tribal geometric design and a striking elongated format. Its deep navy-brown field is enlivened by repeating hooked motifs, ivory guard borders, and rust-toned main borders that showcase the crisp character of hand-knotted craftsmanship. A compelling decorative accent with strong collector appeal, this antique Persian runner is especially well-suited for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Muted warm tones of brown, rust, navy, ivory, camel, indigo, crimson, and gold, with a brown 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.
