Dimensions: 3'0" x 9'0" (91 cm x 274 cm).
This vintage Northwest Persian runner is a handmade, one-of-a-kind rug with a striking tribal geometric design set across a warm rust field. Its elongated format is animated by a sequence of hooked medallion-like motifs, framed by detailed borders in blue and ivory that showcase the crisp character of hand-knotted village craftsmanship. A distinctive decorative accent for a hallway, entryway, or narrow kitchen.
Muted warm tones of rust, blue, ivory, navy, camel, taupe, and charcoal, with a rust 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.
