Antique Northwest Persian runner, circa 1920, with a softly faded palette and a striking sequence of geometric compartment motifs framed by angular guard borders. This handmade, one-of-a-kind rug showcases collector-friendly tribal drawing, pale ivory and sky blue fields, and crisp brown patterning that gives the long format strong architectural presence. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or narrow kitchen.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, brown, sky blue, blush, and taupe, with a ivory 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.
