About the Item

This early 20th-century Kurdish runner is a captivating example of tribal craftsmanship, woven by Kurdish artisans from the rugged regions of Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. Renowned for their bold patterns and vibrant colors, Kurdish weavers draw on a rich heritage to create rugs that reflect their nomadic lifestyle and cultural traditions. This exquisite piece features an all-over miniature repeated Tree of Life pattern, symbolizing growth and resilience. Uniquely, the trees are arranged in diagonal stripes by subtly changing their shading, creating a dynamic visual rhythm throughout the piece. The pattern is framed by two distinct floral striped borders, each adorned with stylized blossoms that add a graceful, ornamental touch. The rug's rich palette includes crimson, light and dark indigo, and pink vegetable-dyed wool, complemented by the natural, undyed brown wool that grounds the design. Rustic, charming, and versatile, this runner blends history and artistry, offering a striking addition to any space.
