Antique Kurdish Persian 1900s Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional piece originates from the tribal weaving traditions of Persia, specifically reflecting the robust aesthetic of the Kurdish groups inhabiting the western regions. The use of saturated natural dyes—deep indigo and vibrant madder—is characteristic of nomadic production from the early 20th century.

The structure of this textile is defined by its powerful geometric vocabulary. A continuous, repeating diamond lattice forms an allover design across the field, densely packed with highly stylized motifs. The distinctive, bold execution and the reliance on angular, medallion-like forms are hallmarks of the kurdish weaving style, emphasizing durability and symbolic complexity over courtly refinement.

Its elongated dimensions classify it perfectly among hallway runner rugs, providing an excellent opportunity to introduce color and historical texture into transitional spaces. The narrow format ensures that the dynamic, repetitive pattern is viewed sequentially, drawing the eye along the entire length of the piece.

As a genuine example of early 20th-century tribal artistry, this rug offers more than just floor covering; it is a tangible piece of history. Collectors seeking authentic, highly graphic antique rugs will appreciate the integrity of its composition and the rich patina achieved through a century of careful preservation. See less
