About the Item
Antique North West Persian Runner
Size: 3'4" × 14'10" (101 × 452 cm)
This exquisite antique Persian runner from the 1920s exemplifies the rich textile heritage of Northwest Iran. Hand-knotted in wool, the runner features a highly detailed and repetitive Herati (fish-scale) pattern rendered in a stylized boteh (paisley) motif—a symbol often associated with fertility and life. These botehs are arranged in meticulously aligned rows, set against a deep navy blue field that provides a dramatic contrast to the warm reds, ochres, ivory, and sky blues that animate the design.
The rug is framed by a series of classic Persian borders: a wide central stripe filled with stepped geometric medallions and floral accents, flanked by narrower guard borders of interconnected floral motifs. The strong geometric framework of the borders enhances the balance and rhythm of the more curvilinear field.
Woven with high-quality wool, this runner has aged beautifully, with its colors retaining a soft vibrancy and its pile showing gentle patina consistent with age. Its proportions make it ideal for hallways or narrow transitional spaces, while its timeless motifs connect it firmly to the legacy of nomadic and village weaving traditions of northwest Iran.
Whether used in a classic or modern setting, this piece brings authentic character and understated sophistication to any interior.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
