East Anatolian Kurdish Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

These Kurdish rugs from eastern Turkey announce themselves with their distinctive palette which I find refreshingly light and pleasing. The tone of the red is soft, the orange borders create a bright and colourful frame for the central field. Note how the top medallion is compressed as the weaver realised they were running out of warps. These are interesting rugs I think, there aren’t too many around as they tend to buckle and wear on the creases with their soft woollen foundation. I will always buy them when I see them as they are so different to other oriental rugs, the pile is long and silky and the weave as floppy as a blanket. I think this is a very attractive example.

The condition is quite poor, there is a lot of old repair some of which is more darning than repiling. It has some wrinkles as is to be expected on these pieces. The price is markedly reduced to reflect the condition.

FAQs

East Anatolian Kurdish rugs are hand-knotted textiles created by tribal weavers in eastern Turkey, recognised for their bold geometric medallions, saturated madder red and indigo blue dyes, and nomadic motifs.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and the foundation, resulting in a durable weave coloured with natural dyes.

Authentic pieces often display slight asymmetric irregularities, rich dye colour variations known as abrash, a soft wool foundation, and distinct tribal motifs like stepped diamonds or latch hooks.

A tribal Anatolian rug adds warmth and visual texture when layered over neutral floorings, such as polished concrete or light oak boards, pairing exceptionally well with mid-century or eclectic interiors.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, and address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth and lukewarm water rather than scrubbing.
