This exemplary antique Persian runner from the 1920s in stellar condition, coming from the mountainous terrain of Northwest Persia, epitomizes exquisite tribal beauty, form and color story. Its crispy geometric design and vibrant hues evoke a sense of cultural richness and tradition. The weavers, skilled in angular weaving of tribal origin, created these antique carpet designs that are so often seen in runners, small, and room size pieces.
The vivid colors, including the striking emerald green rarely seen in antique rugs, showcase the mastery of dyeing techniques and the use of vegetable dyes. With powerful tribal motifs and medallions adorning its surface, the runner exudes a sense of elemental strength and presence.
Distinctive features such as the rust-colored undertones and pops of yellow add depth and character to the piece. The aqua blue border band, embellished with a meandering floral pattern, adds a touch of elegance to the rugged tribal design.
Unlike typical Persian runners with red grounds, this piece stands out with its navy blue backdrop, a rarity among Heriz rugs and runners. Despite its age, the runner remains in excellent condition, a nod to its sturdy construction and enduring quality. This is the kind of durability that can handle the busy life of a family with kiddos and pets.
This beauty not only serves as a wonderful work of art but also as evidence of the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of Northwest Persia. Place it in a hallway, entryway, or on a staircase and let it bring a soulful vibe to your home.
