ANTIQUE #SA1165058

East Anatolian Kurdish Rug

£2,800    $3,747    €3,279
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.
