This antique Kurdish runner, circa 1930, is a hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind tribal weaving with a striking procession of geometric lozenge medallions across a blue-green field. Its richly articulated ivory, rust, brown, ochre, and soft blue palette is framed by crisp reciprocal borders and finely detailed hooked motifs, giving the narrow format exceptional graphic presence. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Muted cool tones of blue green, rust, ivory, dark brown, ochre, olive, pale blue, and charcoal, with a blue green 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.
