On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may know this 19th century Sauj Bulaj runner rug as an example of a Northwest Persian rug, with a particular element of Kurdish influence that speaks to its more Caucasian appearance. Its design enjoys a golden-beige field with small-scale florals and fine tribal motifs in red, blue, green, and cream tones. The piece's tribal iconography is particularly compelling in the borders, where stylized motifs alternate in rhythmic, almost serrated geometric patterns. Altogether, it’s a gracious rug with a cultured personality and honors the classic origins of the design as well as the independent nature of the Kurdish weavers.

Condition:

This antique Sauj Bulaj rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. See less
