About the Item

Proto Kurdish Northwest Persian Rug, Circa 1700s — 3′8″ × 6′ The Proto Kurdish Northwest Persian Rug, circa 1700s, is a remarkable example of early tribal artistry from the Kurdish communities of northwestern Persia and Iranian Kurdistan. Measuring 3′8″ × 6′, this rare piece reflects the deep cultural interchange between Persian and Kurdish weaving traditions. Its intricate geometric motifs, rhythmic symmetry, and saturated natural dyes exemplify the distinctive aesthetic developed by Kurdish artisans — one rooted in both nomadic heritage and refined regional craftsmanship. Woven over three centuries ago, this rug captures the spirit of its era — when weaving was both an artistic and cultural expression of identity. The interplay of bold patterning and nuanced coloration demonstrates the masterful hand of its maker. For collectors and connoisseurs of antique textiles, this piece represents not only exceptional craftsmanship but also a tangible link to the enduring legacy of Kurdish artistry within the Persian weaving tradition.
