Handmade Antique Persian Kurdish Rug | 3'7" × 7'0" (110 cm × 214 cm) | 1880s
Expressive Village Weaving from 19th Century Persia
This antique Persian Kurdish rug, woven in the 1880s, captures the intuitive artistry and tribal aesthetic of Kurdistan’s weaving heritage. Each motif and color shift reflects the weaver’s hand and cultural narrative, resulting in a rug that feels both purposeful and heartfelt.
Lush Earth Tones with Organic Movement
The field exhibits rich “swampy” green alongside deep blue and vibrant red. These tones combine in rhythmic geometric forms and botanical motifs, creating a field that’s alive with tribal energy yet balanced by organic irregularity. The aged color palette softens over time, giving quiet depth to each hue.
Wool Weave with Natural Wear
Knotted from fine wool, the rug presents a pleasantly textured surface. The wear is even and gentle, reflecting authentic aging rather than decay. This lived-in aesthetic enhances its tactile and visual appeal, inviting both admiration and daily use.
Comfortable Size for Versatile Styling
Measuring approximately 3'7" × 7'0" (110 cm × 214 cm), the format is perfect for transitioning spaces—whether under benches, in hallways, or layered atop a larger rug. Its proportions allow it to show presence without overwhelming, bringing artful warmth to varied rooms.
