About the Item

Beautiful early 19th century Tribal Persian Northwest runner rug, country of origin / rug type: Persian rug, date circa Early 19th century. Size: 2 ft 10 in x 19 ft (0.86 m x 5.79 m) North West Persian rugs – is the area straddling the Caucasus mountains, Caspian sea and borders with South Asiaa. Rugs produced in North West Persia represent a convergence of cultures from the Kazakhs and Khazars to the invading Mughals. The region of N. West Persia includes parts of Iran, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Carpet weavers in N. West Persia were not the most prolific craftspeople but their rare high quality carpets are sought after commodities that regularly sell for record breaking sums. Historic evidence depicting looms and detailed carpet patterns confirms the development of knotted pile carpets and flat woven Kilim rugs during the Timurid dynasty which thrived between 1300 and 1500. The oldest known carpet in the Northwest Persian style was produced in the city of Tabriz. It depicts a bountiful hunting scene with lush vegetation. This ancient pictorial carpet from Tabriz dates to the 16th century and the rule of the influential Shah Abbas. Before Shah Abbas overthrew the Safavid dynasty, their wealthy leaders funded a renaissance of the Islamic arts that would last more than a century. Carpets produced in Tabriz during this era were highly pictorial but also featured Islamic calligraphy, detailing folklore and writings from the famous Northwest Persian poets. Geometric patterns and bold colors were introduced to north west Persian carpets through tribal groups and nomads who traveled through the many fertile valleys of the south Caucasus.
