About the Item

Originating from Northwest Persia circa 1920–1930, this hand-knotted antique wool runner is an exemplary survivor of the early 20th-century weaving tradition. This piece denotes a varied, traveled array of influences from the tribal hearths of the Northwest, complemented by high-quality wool and a durable body that has allowed it to remain in such remarkable condition. In a rare and desirable 3x14 size, this majestic runner stands as a premier selection for elegant galleries and long hallways. On the Design: This magnificent antique Northwest Persian runner is a profound tapestry, weaving together a history told in saturated colors and architectural forms. The field is a radiant expanse of deep madder red, providing a dramatic and sophisticated backdrop for a mesmeric, vertical procession of patterns. The most notable of this piece's geometric, tribal symbols are the large, diamond-shaped medallions that anchor the field, each flourishing in a rhythmic "Gradiance" of azure blue, mustard gold, and earthy brown. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the deep harmony in this design, where each medallion houses a central floral "star" motif, symbolizing the womb of the celebrated mother goddess of this era. These primary jewels are interspersed with smaller tribal Guls and abstracted geometric icons in hues of ivory and salmon-pink, creating a dimensionality that draws the eye into the rhythmic depths of the weave. Unique to this design is the intricate, multi-layered border featuring repeating botanical vine scrolls and "running dog" motifs in a contrasting dark chocolate tone, which provides a grounding frame to the vibrant heart of the piece. Given its rare dimensions and exquisite preservation, this runner is an intentional and poetic contribution to the legacy of Persian textile art. Condition: This antique Karabagh Persian runner rug enjoys good condition, and is a gorgeous collectible of vast design applications.
