About the Item

Beautiful early 20th century Persian Kurdish runner, meticulously hand-knotted in the early 1900s. Originating from the skilled Kurdish weavers of Persia, renowned for their robust construction and distinctive geometric designs, this piece is a testament to authentic village weaving traditions that remain timeless. This striking Kurdish runner features a charming all-over pattern that is a delightful variation of the classic paisley form, gracefully rendered across an inviting abrash blue background. The abrash, a subtle and natural variation in tonal depth, adds character and authenticity, reflecting the traditional dyeing methods and the rug's genuine age. The intricate motifs within the field are beautifully brought to life in a palette of warm brown, classic red, and verdant green. The field is elegantly framed by three distinct borders, each showcasing intricate geometric designs. These borders present a sophisticated color scheme of deep purple, rich dark red, and luminous ivory, with the geometric motifs within them detailed in vibrant green, delicate pink, sunny yellow, and serene blue. This thoughtful layering of patterns and colors creates a visually dynamic and utterly harmonious composition. At over 100 years old, this beautiful runner remarkably combines a modern design sensibility with the superior quality material and exceptional workmanship characteristic of antique Kurdish rugs. Its enduring beauty and remarkable preservation are a testament to the finest wool and meticulous hand-knotting.

Vintage Persian Kurdish Bidjar runner, meticulously hand-knotted in the early 1900s. Originating from the skilled Kurdish weavers of Persia's Bidjar region, renowned for producing some of the most dense and durable rugs in the world, this piece embodies both strength and captivating tribal artistry. This Bidjar runner features a distinctive geometric medallion pattern, thoughtfully arranged along an inviting abrash terracotta red field.
