Dimensions: 4'0" x 8'9" (122 cm x 267 cm).
Circa: 1920.
This antique circa 1920 Kurdish rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind tribal weaving with a richly patterned rust field filled with angular star and latch-hook motifs. Its hand-knotted wool pile and layered geometric borders in faded terracotta, ivory, and blue gray give the long-format rug a nuanced, collector-friendly presence. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or bedroom.
Faded warm tones of rust, terracotta, blue gray, ivory, brown, charcoal, sage, and ochre, with a rust field.
Kurdish rugs are woven by the Kurdish people across a vast territory spanning northwestern Iran, eastern Turkey, southern Caucasus, and northern Iraq — one of the great tribal weaving peoples of the Middle East. Kurdish rugs are woven on a wool foundation using the symmetrical knot, and are distinguished by their bold geometric designs, long lustrous pile, and vivid natural dyes in rich reds, deep blues, and warm ivories.
Designs include medallion formats, herati-derived patterns, and bold geometric field compositions. Kurdish rugs have a directness and energy that distinguishes them from more courtly Persian work, and their superb wool quality means they wear exceptionally well. They are equally prized by collectors and by those seeking a robust, character-filled antique rug.
