This antique Northwest Persian runner is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece dating to the early 1900s, distinguished by its elongated tribal-geometric composition and richly time-softened palette. The terracotta field is organized around a vertical chain of hooked medallions in blue and ivory, framed by multiple angular borders that showcase the crisp drawing and enduring character collectors prize in hand-knotted Persian rugs. Its narrow runner format and graphic presence make it especially well-suited for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Faded warm tones of terra cotta, blue, ivory, camel, taupe, sage, and charcoal, with a terra cotta 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.
