This antique Northwest Persian runner, circa 1900, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a striking tribal geometric design set against a softly faded blue field. Its elongated format is animated by repeating latch-hook and diamond motifs, framed by a richly detailed rust border that showcases the character and artistry of hand-knotted village weaving. A refined accent for a hallway, entryway, or narrow living space.
Faded warm tones of blue, rust, ivory, camel, burgundy, taupe, and sage, with a blue 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.
