Handwoven in wool, the rug features a distinctive geometric stripe composition rendered in soft ivory, sky blue, coral, navy, and muted sage tones, further enriched by a softly distressed texture and graceful age-worn patina throughout.

On the Design:

This Persian Kurdish runner exemplifies the sophisticated tribal weaving traditions associated with Kurdish artisans of the late 19th century. Unlike larger medallion carpets, this composition emphasizes linear movement through densely layered diagonal striping and repeating border motifs.

The central field enjoys a highly architectural sensibility, pairing alternating color bands with finely articulated geometric detailing. Stylized floral rosettes and latch-hook motifs within the borders provide contrast to the angular structure, lending the rug a balanced decorative rhythm. Its restrained yet vibrant palette, featuring faded coral, powder blue, ivory, and deep navy, reflects the naturally dyed wool favored in antique Kurdish textiles. Subtle distressing, gentle abrash, and an age-worn patina further enhance the rug’s authenticity and visual depth, resulting in a runner of remarkable graphic clarity and timeless tribal character.
