Kolyai Rug, Persia, Circa 1880, 2.06m X 1.32m

19th century
Description

Woven in the Kurdish villages around around the city of Hamadan, this charming Kolyai rug has the hallmarks of genuine Persian tribal weaving. It has an all-wool foundation. The camel colour is undyed wool. All the other colours are lovely saturated natural dyes. The pile is chunky and has survived in amazingly good condition, and has retained its kilim ends and original selvages. The lattice design on the camel ground is often found on Kolyai rugs, but here it is drawn beautifully and appears to be lying above another plane which is decorated in stylised floral ornaments. This is complemented by the mid-blue spandrels each containing female figures, and by the main borders of stylised birds and flowers. The whole composition is delightful. Professionally cleaned, the pile is now soft and plush.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Kolyai rugs are hand-knotted tribal textiles crafted by Kurdish weavers in western Persia, recognized for their heavy wool construction, bold geometric medallions, and rich natural dye palettes.

These carpets are constructed with hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a sturdy wool or cotton foundation, providing a dense weave designed for long-term durability.

Authentic late 19th-century pieces display natural vegetable dye abrash variations, subtle asymmetrical hand-knotted details, soft age-related wear, and traditional regional motifs such as lattice patterns or stylized figures.

A patterned tribal rug introduces depth and texture when positioned over light timber flooring, anchoring modern minimalist furniture or complementing traditional dark wood antiques.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment to preserve the pile, place a protective underlay beneath to prevent slipping, and seek professional conservation cleaning when required.
