East Anatolian Kurdish Rug

19th century
Description

A very good example of the type. These rugs formerly called Yuruks are of Kurdish origin and have a very distinctive palette which includes a soft orange, some sublime blue shades and a cochineal red. The pile is always long and the wool soft and silky. They are often quite misshapen and prone to having tension folds due to their soft wool foundations but luckily this example lies flat.

I have a soft spot for East Anatolian rugs and have owned quite a few to date. This is one of the best without doubt, a beautiful floppy rug with a great look.

Very good, it has had some expert restoration in the past but not to the detriment of the piece.

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

Woven by nomadic Kurdish tribes in eastern Anatolia, these textiles feature distinctive tribal iconography, geometric motifs, and rich colour palettes derived from local plants and minerals.

They are constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, dyed with natural plant-based and mineral pigments to ensure longevity.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-knotted wool construction, slight asymmetry in the geometric motifs, rich vegetable dyes with natural colour variation, and flexible wool backings.

A geometric tribal rug acts as a focal point, pairing equally well with contemporary minimalist furniture, dark wooden antiques, or layered over plain natural fibre floorings.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotary beater bar, rotate periodically to distribute wear, and seek professional hand-cleaning for stain removal.
