Description

This lovely Persian village rug has a fine weave, very soft wool and wonderful dyes. Woven on a cotton foundation, it probably comes from the Senneh region of West Persia. The pretty pink medallion appears to be floating on a midnight blue field which is filled with linked botehs and other floral ornaments. Note the striking spandrels which match the central medallion. The field is framed by several borders, all very well-executed. This rug draws on the Kurdish tribal weaving tradition, which, combined with great craftsmanship has resulted in a very beautiful rug. Cherished through the generations, it has survived in excellent condition. Professionally cleaned, the colours are fresh and glowing.

FAQs

Antique Kurdish rugs originate from the tribal weaving traditions of Kurdistan, historically spanning regions across modern-day Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. Weavers utilized distinct geometric motifs, deep natural dyes, and sturdy symmetrical or asymmetrical knotting techniques passed down through generations.

These carpets are traditionally handknotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft threads. Natural dyes sourced from plants, roots, and minerals were employed to achieve rich, enduring colour palettes.

Authentication involves examining the irregularities in hand-spinning and knotting, assessing the patina and softness of the wool, and identifying natural dye variations. Hand-finished selvages and natural wear patterns consistent with age further indicate authenticity.

An antique tribal rug introduces warmth, texture, and historical depth to contemporary spaces. It functions effectively as a grounding element over hardwood floors, paired with minimalist modern furniture to highlight its intricate patterns.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist cleaning, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent dye fading. Rotating the rug periodically ensures even wear.
