About the Item

This Early 20th century Persian Kurdish rug, measuring 3'8" x 4'9", is a superb example of the artistry and symbolism associated with village weaving traditions. The field is set against a deep brown ground, filled with an allover lattice of stylized boteh motifs, arranged in precise diagonal rows. Each boteh, rendered in cream, ivory, and soft golden tones, is intricately detailed, representing fertility, protection, and continuity—a symbol deeply rooted in Persian weaving heritage. The dense repetition of these motifs creates a striking visual rhythm, drawing the eye across the surface while highlighting the weaver’s skill in maintaining both harmony and variation within the design. Framing the composition is a bold series of borders, the main one decorated with angular geometric devices and serrated leaf forms, complemented by narrow guard stripes that carry small repeating floral and diamond motifs. The interplay of earthy browns, warm creams, and subtle hints of ochre underscores the tribal aesthetic, making this rug a fine and authentic representation of Kurdish weaving from the period.
