About the Item
51634 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Kurdish Rug, 09'07 x 13'04. Persian Kurdish rugs, hailing from Kurdish regions predominantly in Iran but also found in segments of Iraq, Turkey, and Syria, are revered for their exceptional quality, artisanal craftsmanship, and one-of-a-kind designs. Meticulously handwoven using premium wool, these rugs boast striking geometric patterns and lively hues obtained from natural dyes, serving as poignant reflections of the weavers' deep-seated cultural roots and enduring traditions. Celebrated for their robustness and endurance, these rugs incorporate symbolic motifs that embody concepts such as fertility and safeguarding, imbuing them with both aesthetic beauty and practical utility. As such, they transcend mere floor coverings, elevating spaces with their warmth, charm, and cultural significance.
Exuding timeless elegance and evoking a sense of nostalgic charm, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Kurdish rug serves as a versatile addition that seamlessly harmonizes with modern, contemporary, and traditional interiors alike. The rich midnight navy blue field, with its abrashed texture adding depth and character, serves as the backdrop for an enchanting all-over Herati pattern. Angular florals and foliage, adorned with serrated edges, grace each corner spandrel in contrasting hues, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail inherent in Persian rug making.
At the heart of the rug lies the Classic Herati design, also known as the Mahi or fish pattern, a beloved motif steeped in Persian heritage and symbolism. This iconic design features a central flower nestled within a diamond shape, surrounded by curving lanceolate leaves that evoke the graceful movement of fish, symbolizing abundance and fertility. Encircling the Herati pattern is a repeating tree of life border, flanked by an inner guard border and a triple outer guard border, adding a sense of symmetry and balance to the rug's overall composition.
With its perfectly worn-in charm and understated elegance, this large antique Persian rug offers more than just aesthetic appeal—it carries with it a sense of history and tradition that would infuse any interior space with a nostalgic ambiance. Whether placed in a modern living room, a cozy den, or a traditional study, this rug promises to be a captivating focal point that elevates the atmosphere and adds a touch of timeless sophistication to its surroundings.
