1880's Persian Northwest Runner with Tribal Style
About the Item
79100 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Northwest Rug Runner, 03'05 x 10'04. This exceptional hand knotted wool Late 19th Century hand-knotted Northwest Persian rug runner weaves a compelling narrative of artistry, tradition, and symbolism. Composed of durable wool and dyed with naturally derived pigments, the distressed Persian tribal carpet runner reflects centuries-old weaving techniques passed down through generations. Its intricate design features an allover geometric pattern, skillfully arranged to achieve both rhythm and balance. Dominating the composition are Bereket fertility motifs, stylized to convey prosperity, abundance, and the blessings of life. Interspersed throughout are protective Wolf's Mouth motifs, symbols revered for their power to ward off the malevolent gaze of the evil eye, ensuring security for both the weaver and the rug’s owner.
The Bergama-style border beautifully frames the central field, creating a harmonious contrast to the intricate motifs. This bold, rectilinear border features stylized rosettes and angular florals, typical of the Caucasian weaving influences that migrated into Northwest Persia during centuries of trade and cultural exchange. Flanking this primary border are inner and outer geometric meander guard bands, which provide a rhythmic continuity and serve as a metaphor for eternity—unbroken and infinite, guiding the viewer’s gaze around this weathered beauty.
The color palette of this antique Persian runner is a visual feast, featuring deep crimson reds, rich indigo blues, earthy browns, and soft beige highlights. These natural hues not only exude warmth but also elevate the timeless beauty of the design. The dyes, extracted from plants, minerals, and insects, have gracefully mellowed with age, creating a patina that is both sophisticated and inviting. The fine wool used in the rug's construction adds durability and a gentle luster to the pile, ensuring this piece remains as captivating as it is functional.
As a treasure from the Late 19th Century, this Northwest Persian rug runner transcends its decorative function to become a tangible piece of history. Reflecting the influences of Persian and Caucasian weaving traditions, it tells a story of the region's multi-ethnic artisans and their commitment to preserving heritage through their craft. Perfectly suited for hallways, entryways, or layered over modern interiors, this antique runner invites warmth, texture, and an enduring sense of artistry into nearly any space. With its meaningful motifs and laid-back luxury aesthetic, this woven wonder is not merely a furnishing but a conversation piece, connecting its owner to a storied past.
