An early Kurdish Kelleh carpet from the mid-nineteenth century, hand-knotted in wool with a Persian tribal design. The piece displays a repeating floral lattice pattern across a dark navy field, set within patterned red borders accented by yellow, pale blue, and dark tones. Visible details include slight loss to the sides and one or two repairs, showing evidence of age and prior maintenance alongside secure ends and sides. Measuring 454 cm high by 201 cm wide and 1 cm deep, this large elongated runner is suited to an English Country House interior as a floor covering in a spacious hallway, grand landing, or large reception room.

FAQs

A Kelleh carpet is a traditional Middle Eastern carpet format defined by its specific proportions, which are narrower than a standard area rug but wider than a conventional runner, historically woven across Kurdish regions.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, dyed with natural plant-based and mineral pigments to produce distinct colour shifts.

Authentic examples display asymmetrical hand-knotted construction, slight irregularities in weave, geometric or stylized floral motifs, and subtle colour variations known as abrash.

A Kelleh carpet is ideal for anchoring wide corridors, entrance halls, or open-plan living rooms, where its elongated proportions create a grounded focal point against modern flooring.

Care involves regular suction-only vacuuming without a rotating brush, addressing spills immediately with spot dampening, and seeking periodic specialist cleaning to preserve the natural fibres.
