North West Persian Rugs and Carpets

Symbolic figures and patterns imbued with a deeper meaning are used throughout this charming antique carpet woven in Northwest Persia.

Featuring stacked medallions bordered by star motifs, this carpet is an archetypal example of geometric designs used by weavers in Karajeh.

So-called Northwest antique Persian carpets of this kind tend to reflect the abstract design sensibilities of tribal or village weaving.

This exciting and unusual antique Northwest Persian long carpet translates the design of small village rugs to a monumental, room-size format.

This magnificent carpet seems closely related to the antique Bidjar, Serapi, and Bakshaish weavings of Northwest Persia, but nonetheless it stands apart.
