This vintage Northwest Persian runner is a handmade, one-of-a-kind rug with a striking tribal geometric design built around a linked series of stepped medallions. Its salmon field, ivory border, and crisp accents of teal-blue and rust create a beautifully time-softened palette that highlights the artistry of hand-knotted craftsmanship and the rug’s long, elegant proportions. An ideal choice for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Faded warm tones of salmon, ivory, teal, rust, camel, sky blue, and taupe, with a salmon 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.
