Antique Kurdish Small Scatter Size Wool Persimmon Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional tribal weaving originates from the Kurdish regions of Persia, characterized by the robust handle and deeply saturated, naturally dyed wool. Its age places it among the finest examples of antique rugs produced during the late Qajar era.

The field presents a striking, highly organized geometric design, utilizing a repetitive lattice of alternating persimmon and ivory diamonds. This dense, all-over motif creates a dynamic visual texture that is both precise and characteristic of nomadic artistry, demonstrating the weaver's mastery of complex pattern repetition.

The palette is dominated by the rich, earthy tones of persimmon, placing it firmly within the category of desirable orange color rugs. This vibrant main hue is expertly balanced by secondary borders featuring stylized tribal medallions rendered in deep indigo and warm, undyed taupe, providing necessary contrast and definition to the composition.

Measuring as a traditional small scatter size, this piece is perfectly suited for intimate spaces, hallways, or layered installations where its powerful geometry can anchor a room without overwhelming it. The enduring quality of the wool and the clarity of the design attest to its collectible status as a historical textile. See less
