About the Item

This early 20th century Persian Kurdish rug, measuring 3' 2" x 6' 9", features a richly expressive composition centered around the iconic "Tree of Life" motif. The tree rises symmetrically through the field, branching out into stylized floral boughs that host a variety of tribal forms, including cypress trees, blossoming plants, and small human and animal figures, all intricately woven in saturated tones of coral, soft ivory, teal, and dark walnut. The pictorial elements in the upper field depict a row of horseback riders flanked by standing figures, adding a storytelling dimension that reflects the weaver’s cultural narrative. Framing the composition is a vibrant main border in deep rust, adorned with a continuous floral vine scrolling in a cool turquoise and light blue palette, adding a vivid counterbalance to the dark field. This rug exemplifies the Kurdish weaving tradition's emphasis on symbolic storytelling, dynamic color interplay, and deeply rooted iconography, making it not just a textile but a woven chronicle of village life and spiritual expression.
