This antique Northwest Persian runner, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind tribal weaving with a rhythmic chain of serrated diamond medallions in faded sky blue, sage, rust, and ivory. Its finely detailed guard borders and geometric rosettes frame the elongated field, showcasing the graphic precision and nuanced patina prized in early Persian village rugs. An ideal centerpiece for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, brown, slate blue, sage, rust, terracotta, and charcoal, with a ivory 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.
