Antique Kurdish Persian Ivory 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece belongs to our curated collection of antique rugs, showcasing the robust, deeply traditional weaving techniques of the Kurdish tribes operating within the Persian sphere of influence during the late 19th century.

Its elongated, narrow format identifies it as one of the finest examples of hallway runner rugs, perfectly suited for transitional spaces where movement and flow are paramount. The central field utilizes a rare, luminous shade of ivory, contrasting beautifully with the saturated secondary hues, placing it among our most desirable ivory beige cream white color rugs.

The weaving style is immediately recognizable as kurdish, characterized by the use of durable, hand-spun wool and a preference for geometric abstraction over formal court design. The borders are complex, featuring multiple guard stripes framing the central panel with intricate, earth-toned diamond and zigzag motifs.

The main design employs a dense, repetitive arrangement of stylized trees or flowering boteh forms, creating a highly textural allover rugs pattern that maximizes visual interest across the entire length of the textile. This antique runner is a testament to enduring nomadic artistry and natural dye mastery. See less
