This antique Northwest Persian runner, circa 1900, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a finely drawn all-over lattice design framed by a richly ornamented border. Its hand-knotted character and nuanced palette of ivory, camel, rust, and soft blue give the rug exceptional visual depth, while the repeating geometric motifs lend it the refined tribal elegance collectors prize in early Persian weavings. An ideal choice for a hallway, entryway, or office.
Faded warm tones of camel, ivory, slate, rust, blue, taupe, charcoal, and crimson, with a camel 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.
