Antique Kurdish Persian Brown 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional piece is a powerful example of early 20th-century village weaving, characterized by its robust construction and deeply saturated natural dyes. It represents the enduring tradition of antique rugs crafted by nomadic and semi-nomadic weavers in Western Persia.

The field is anchored by a magnificent, dark, oxidized brown earth tone color, providing a dramatic contrast for the intricate geometric motifs woven throughout. Subtle accents of madder red, indigo blue, and aged ivory emerge from the deep ground, demonstrating the weaver's masterful use of a limited, yet potent, palette.

The design employs a dense, repeating pattern of stylized floral and tribal elements, creating a mesmerizing texture across the entire surface. This continuous, rhythmic arrangement is typical of allover rugs produced in the Kurdish regions, where the focus is often on maximizing pattern density rather than centralizing a medallion.

Woven in a long, narrow format, this textile functions perfectly as one of the finest examples of hallway runner rugs. Its exceptional length and rich patina speak to a century of history, offering an authentic, sophisticated grounding element for a contemporary or traditional interior space. See less
