Dimensions: 3'11" x 8'1" (119 cm x 246 cm).
This vintage Northwest Persian runner is a handmade, one-of-a-kind rug with a richly geometric tribal design and a beautifully time-softened palette. Its repeating lozenge and hooked motifs, framed by multiple borders, create strong visual rhythm, while the hand-knotted wool pile and faded earth tones give it the character collectors seek in regional Persian weaving. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Faded warm tones of brown, rust, ivory, taupe, charcoal, camel, and sage, 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.
