About the Item
This is an Antique Kurdish Herki Rug from the Eastern Anatolia and Northern Iraqi region with a rare and beautiful color composition.
Iraqi Kurds are mainly concentrated within a mountainous region of north and north-east Iraq. Originally a Central Asian people, the Kurds are Sunni Muslims, retaining their national Kurdish identity and resistant to change in whatever country they reside. Characteristics of Kurdish kilims include a weft-wrapping technique that leaves long floating wefts on the reverse of the kilim and ends that are often plaited with long fringes. The main kilim-weaving tribes include the Herki, Dizai, Yazidi, and Surchi. Of these, the Herkis were the most prolific weavers, making flatweaves in the weft-wrapping technique. Their kilims are generally woven in two pieces and joined. Designs are very variable and colors include dark reds, browns, and blues, with a little white. More modern kilims feature small amounts of pink and orange. The Dizai are now mainly settled. They weave a few bags and trappings, and their slit-woven kilims are not dissimilar to the banded kilims from Malatya. The Yazidi from the north of Mosul make both slitweave and supplementary weft-wrapped kilims, and their designs are arranged usually in horizontal bands; the slitweave variety resembles those made near Van in the Hakkari region of Turkey. The kilims of the Surchi are similar to those of the Herki, except that the designs tend to be a little larger. Iraqi Kurdish kilims do not appear with great frequency in the markets, save for some Herki pieces, and no doubt with the upheavals following the Gulf War, even fewer kilims will appear in the future.

We are aware that the way to achieve this goal and carry this priceless art and culture to the future depends on a lot of work with all our people every day while adhering to our core values.
For us, art is meaningful in the sense that it brings together various cultures around the world. It is an honor for us that oriental carpet art and culture have been instrumental in this for centuries and that we are a part of this business.
We are tirelessly keeping an eye on auction house information around the world about carpets. New York's Metropolitan, London's Victoria & Albert Museums, and other famous art museums, as well as small specialized museums that house private collections, and books about oriental carpets to collect information on outstanding carpet designs and patterns from around the world. It's our Self-improving and Self-developing culture.
As Turkish Culture of Hospitality, the Kurdish Culture of Generosity, and as Japanese Culture of Business Punctuality; are the most important values that this multicultural background has taught and bequeathed to us. It is essential and valuable for us that you feel this feeling not only by looking at our oriental carpets but from the moment you contact us.
