Circa: 1920.
Hand-knotted antique Northwest Persian runner, circa 1920, with a terracotta field filled by a disciplined all over lattice of stylized floral motifs and framed by an ivory and pale blue border. Its one-of-a-kind drawing, softened palette, and crisp tribal geometry give the piece strong decorative presence while preserving the character collectors seek in early Persian village weaving. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or office.
Faded warm tones of terracotta, ivory, pale blue, taupe, rust, and brown, with a terracotta 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.
