About the Item
This striking antique Kurdish runner features a bold vertical sequence of angular medallions set against a rich, saturated deep indigo-blue field, a hallmark of tribal Kurdish weaving. The strong geometry is enlivened by accents of brick red, rust, ivory, and touches of green, creating a dynamic yet balanced composition.
The elongated format emphasizes the rhythmic repetition of the central diamond medallions, each framed by stepped motifs and flanked by stylized tribal elements. A lively series of narrow borders encloses the field, incorporating traditional Kurdish symbols rendered with a spontaneous, expressive hand.
Kurdish rugs are prized for their robust construction, graphic clarity, and authentic tribal character, and this example is particularly appealing for its dramatic color contrast and well-preserved design integrity. The long, narrow proportions make it ideal for hallways, kitchens, or transitional spaces where a strong visual statement is desired.
A confident and character-rich early 20th-century Kurdish runner that combines bold tribal design with enduring craftsmanship.
