Description

This handsome wool runner was probably woven by Shahsavan tribal weavers in the Azerbaijan region of North-West Persia in the last quarter of the 19th century. It has cotton warps with a mixture of cotton and wool wefts which is often an indication of the transition phase from a purely nomadic weaving environment to a village environment. Nevertheless, it retains a strong tribal character. A row of archaically drawn geometric medallions on a beautiful sapphire field are framed by three narrow stylised floral borders in ivory, terracotta and light blue. Note the birds surrounding the ivory and bottom green medallions. It is a striking composition which feels both archaic and elegant at the same time. In excellent condition with good even pile throughout. Original selvages and ends are intact.

FAQs

North-West Persian runners typically feature geometric or stylized floral motifs, often reflecting the weaving traditions of nomadic and village workshops in the region.

Authentic pieces are hand-knotted using wool pile on cotton or wool foundations, employing natural vegetable dyes for the colour palette.

Authenticity is assessed through the regularity of the knotting on the reverse, the patina and wear of the wool, and the subtle tonal variations in natural dyes known as abrash.

An antique runner adds texture and historical contrast to contemporary spaces, working effectively in hallways, kitchens, or alongside minimalist architectural elements.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush, professional cleaning when necessary, and the use of a breathable underlay to prevent slippage and wear.
