About the Item

This antique Kurdish runner showcases a striking sequence of nested diamond medallions, each framed by bold stepped outlines that create a captivating sense of rhythm and movement. Hand-woven in high-quality wool, the piece features a nuanced palette of midnight blue, terracotta, soft apricot, and mineral greens—tones that feel both sophisticated and deeply rooted in textile tradition. The geometric language of the rug is exceptionally refined: every diamond contains its own delicate motif, while the surrounding zigzag contours reinforce the strong visual architecture of the design. The borders offer a contrasting constellation of stylized stars and angular forms, adding depth and balance to the composition. Long runners of this scale and graphic presence are increasingly difficult to find, particularly ones that maintain such harmony between pattern, proportion, and color. The tactile wool pile and finely executed detailing make this piece not only a work of textile art but also a functional element capable of transforming a hallway, gallery space, or contemporary interior. Clean and ready for installation, this runner is ideal for collectors and designers seeking a distinctive heritage textile that brings warmth, artistry, and character into a modern setting.

Vintage Persian Kurdish Tribal Area Rug/Wide Runner in Geometric Pattern in Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
Vintage Persian Kurdish tribal area rug or a wide runner, meticulously hand-knotted circa the early 1900s. Originating from the skilled Kurdish weavers of Persia, these rugs are renowned for their distinctive geometric designs, rich palettes, and the enduring quality of their village weaving traditions. This versatile Kurdish rug features a captivating geometric pattern that unfolds gracefully across its field. The central design is defined by a striking series of seven small medallions arranged in a single column, creating a strong visual anchor. The main field itself presents a harmonious interplay of deep blue and warm rust colors, providing a rich and inviting backdrop for the intricate motifs. This rug's wonderful design is further enhanced by the expert use of natural vegetable dyes. These organic pigments not only provide brilliant, saturated colors but also develop a beautiful patina and subtle tonal variations (abrash) over time, a hallmark of authentic village weavings that only adds to their beauty and character. The entire composition is elegantly framed by multiple borders, each displaying their own beautiful colors and intricate geometric designs. These layered borders provide depth and sophistication, perfectly complementing the central field and completing this charming village carpet from the early 1900s.
