Early Northwest Persian Runner.
3.30 x 1.00 m.
‘North West’ refers to a myriad group of villages with weaving styles borrowed from a wide range of influences from the surrounding regions, particularly Turkey and the Caucasus, and often including unique, tribal interpretations of sophisticated workshop weavings from further south, in Persia.
This handsome c. 1890 Northwest Persian runner employs a grey colour field, which works as a wonderful backdrop to the wide variety of vegetable-dyed colours in the all-over pattern across the central field, including tones of terracotta, cornflower blue, and various greens. This pattern is well framed by seven individual decorative borders - a bold composition, relative to this piece's narrow format.
Retained in very good condition for everyday use, the organic dyes used in this carpet's construction have taken on a fine patina with age.
A charming tribal piece, to add personality to any setting.
