Antique North-West Persia runner
Circa 1890
640 × 105 cm20’11” x 3’5”

Description
A stunning and very long antique runner woven in North-West of Persia, woven around circa 1890. Woven with rich deep colours, a deep indigo blue almost black in places background, soft red/pink and green minor borders and wonderful rare early yellow dyes. Condition is very nice, a good wool pile and all showing, a really beautiful and durable antique runner. The leaf and stylised repeating motifs have been wonderfully executed over 130 years ago by tribal weavers in Persia. Some may attribute this runner to the Shashavan weavers, as the handle and colours are often their style and weave.

North West Persian origin, this type is impossible to name to particular tribe or village, they use several attributes from the Caucasus (the colours in particular) along with bold motifs similar to Persian decorative carpets such as Ziegler and Sultanabad. The one thing we can be sure is that the weave is of North Persian origin going into Azerbaijan, this paragraph below is from a reputable carpet publication, it helps clarify the sometimes difficult task of specifying an exact weaving area.
“The pile carpets and decorative Kilim’s produced in Persia’s northern most province bear striking similarities between some Caucasian rugs and those produced in modern-day Azerbaijan. One common thread between the carpets of the Caucasus and those produced in the western Persian province of Azarbayjan-e-Gharbi and the informal area of Iranian Kurdistan is the presence of multi-ethnic weavers. Elegant Northwest Persian rugs are typically attributed to parts of Iranian Kurdistan and Azarbayjan-e-Gharbi. They feature rectilinear patterns, grand lozenges, dramatic harshang palmettes and large-scale arabesques that bear some similarity to the sophisticated carpets produced in Sultanabad and the cities along Persia’s western frontier.”
