Circa: 1920.
This antique Kurdish runner, circa 1920, is a hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind tribal weaving with a richly segmented field of stylized tree forms, geometric blossoms, and small repeating boteh-like motifs. Its weathered charcoal, blue gray, terracotta, and ivory palette is framed by a crisp ivory guard border of cross motifs, giving the narrow format exceptional graphic presence. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Faded neutral tones of charcoal, ivory, blue gray, taupe, terracotta, brown, rust, and sage, with a charcoal 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.
