About the Item

This early 20th century Persian Kurdish rug, measuring 3' 3" x 7' 0", is a striking example of tribal weaving known for its bold geometry and earthy palette. The field is adorned with an allover diagonal motif composed of jagged leaf or hooked “S” forms, a traditional pattern often associated with Kurdish village aesthetics. These stylized elements shift rhythmically across the rug in alternating tones of brick red, camel, walnut, ivory, and olive green, creating a dynamic zigzag effect. Framed by a multiband border, the primary surround showcases stepped latch-hook rosettes and cruciform motifs in a rustic palette that complements the field. The design reflects a harmonious balance between repetition and improvisation, with subtle color variations and playful asymmetries revealing the individuality of the weaver. Rooted in Kurdish artistic traditions, this rug exemplifies a robust, energetic character ideal for collectors or interiors seeking rich visual texture and cultural depth.
