Description

A characterful antique North-West Persian tribal rug, likely Kurdish / Hamadan region, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.

Hand-knotted in richly coloured wool, the rug displays a wonderfully bold geometric design with an all-over lattice field incorporating stylised star motifs, hooked diamonds, rosettes and traditional tribal devices, framed by a striking deep indigo border with angular floral motifs. The warm madder red ground, contrasted with indigo, coral pink, camel and ivory tones, gives the piece excellent decorative impact.

The drawing and construction are typical of village weaving from the North-West Persian / Kurdish weaving tradition, offering the spontaneity and charm collectors look for in authentic tribal rugs. The hand-knotted construction and natural age-related variation add to its appeal and individuality.

A highly decorative and genuine antique rug, ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Condition:

Honest age-related wear consistent with use, including edge and end wear, some distortion and areas of surface wear, all contributing to its authentic antique character.

A decorative and collectible antique tribal rug with strong visual presence.
