This antique Northwest Persian runner, circa 1920, is a hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind village weaving with a finely drawn all-over boteh field and a crisp ivory border. Its warm terracotta and rose ground, softened by age and visible abrash, creates a richly layered surface that showcases the character and individuality prized in early Persian rugs. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or office.
Faded warm tones of rose, terracotta, ivory, burgundy, taupe, olive, sage, and plum, with a rose 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.
