This antique Kurdish wool runner rug dates from around 1900 and exemplifies traditional tribal craftsmanship in an English Country House design vibe. The central field displays a diagonal stripe pattern comprising multi-coloured bands in shades of deep red, green, blue, and gold, enclosed by a geometric multi-band border decorated with repeating tribal motifs and stylised flowers and vines. The hand-woven textile exhibits soft, velvety wool pile with age-related wear that appears slightly heavier in places, alongside secure fringes and selvedges. Measuring 263 cm high by 109 cm wide with a 1 cm depth, this floor covering spans approximately 263 cm by 109 cm. Placed in a hallway, long corridor, or living space today, it provides warmth and colour underfoot while complementing traditional or eclectic interior schemes.

FAQs

Kurdish rugs are hand-woven textiles created by Kurdish tribes across the mountainous regions of western Iran, eastern Turkey, and northern Iraq, recognised for their bold geometric patterns and durable knotting traditions.

These runners are traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and foundation, coloured with natural vegetable and mineral dyes.

Authentic Kurdish rugs typically feature heavy wool construction, a wool warp and weft foundation, slight weaver asymmetrical variations, and saturated colour palettes with traditional tribal motifs such as diagonal stripes or repeating latch-hook patterns.

A Kurdish runner adds warmth, texture, and colour when placed in narrow spaces such as entryways, corridors, or alongside a bed, complementing both period properties and contemporary neutral interiors.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush attachment, rotate the rug periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, and treat spills immediately by blotting with a damp cloth; professional hand-cleaning is recommended for thorough maintenance.
