This antique Northwest Persian prayer rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece distinguished by its dramatic ivory prayer niche set against a deep navy field and framed by multiple finely drawn borders. Its intricate floral and geometric detailing, softly aged palette, and hand-knotted character give it the refined presence collectors seek in early Persian village weaving. An ideal accent for an entryway, hallway, or office.
Faded warm tones of ivory, navy, camel, rose, taupe, rust, olive, and charcoal, with a navy 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.
