Antique Northwest Beige and Blue Wool Persian Runner 12623

Originating from Persia in 1880, this hand-knotted antique Persian wool runner features a distinct Northwest design, denoting a varied, traveled array of influences from Tehran, Tabriz, and other tribal regions of the 19th century. Complemented by high-quality wool and a durable body, the most notable of this pieces geometric, tribal symbols are the eight-pointed star medallions in the field, center to each Gul (symbolizing the womb of the celebrated mother goddess of this era) in rich variations of Beige/Brown, brick red, azure blue, and salmon-pink colorways against a black background; though the presence of alternating camel motifs is an uncommon design choice among Persian runners of this era.
