This antique NW Persian rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind village weaving with a bold geometric composition and a striking ivory stepped medallion set against a rich red field. Angular border motifs, rosette forms, and crisp tribal drawing give the piece strong decorative presence, while its hand-knotted character and nuanced palette of red, ivory, blue, and gold make it especially appealing to collectors of early Persian rugs. An ideal accent for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Muted warm tones of red, ivory, blue, burgundy, gold, camel, and brown, with a red 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.
