About the Item
78319 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Kurdish Rug, 03'03 x 09'02. Step into a world where artistry meets the spirit of ancient traditions with this hand-knotted wool Late 19th Century antique Persian Kurdish rug runner. Woven with deep intention and skill, this masterpiece captures the essence of Kurdish tribal life through its captivating allover design. The field is a mesmerizing array of boteh motifs—each one symbolizing eternity and continuity—interwoven with birds, human figures, and ambiguous tribal symbols that weave a narrative of mystery and ancient wisdom. As your eyes move across the Kurdish rug, the symbols emerge like stories passed down through generations, each knot steeped in meaning.
The rich colors of red, navy blue, and brown form the rug's foundation, creating a perfect balance of warmth and depth. These earthy tones, reminiscent of the Kurdish homeland, are set against a dark backdrop that amplifies the motifs' visual vibrancy. The boteh, sometimes called paisley, is used to represent both plant life and the cycle of existence, a symbol of renewal and growth. In combination with other tribal symbols, including abstract shapes and geometric forms, the rug speaks to the spiritual journey of the Kurdish nomads and their connection to the earth and cosmos.
Encircling the design is a botanical border that offers a sense of protection and enclosure, crafted with precision and beauty. The intricate border features more geometric motifs, each playing its part in framing the central field while adding layers of symbolism and cultural relevance. This traditional Kurdish border, with its combination of bold, graphic lines and softer, organic curves, serves as a visual transition from the realm of the Kurdish rug’s motifs to the larger space it inhabits, reinforcing the connection between the rug and its environment.
More than just a decorative piece, this antique Persian Kurdish rug runner tells the stories of generations past. Its presence brings a touch of nomadic elegance to any space, inviting viewers to reflect on the craftsmanship and spiritual depth it carries. Whether adorning the floors of a modern urban retreat or nestled in the warmth of a rustic home, this woven wonder offers a timeless connection to a rich cultural heritage, continuing to speak through its vibrant design and historic essence.
