133 X 246 Early 19th Century Highly Collectable Kurdish Rug, Sauj Bulagh Tribe

19th century
Description

The corroded brown field of this early, colourful Kurdish weaving really adds to the excitement of this beautiful, rare rug. An amazing colour palette of greens, purples, reds and blues is highlighted in islands of colour where the brown has dropped away. Highly patinated wool has a shimmery surface which is what the connoisseur of this kind of collectable rug look for. A very collectable rug which could form the centrepiece of a truly great collection. Early 19th century.

4'1" x 8'3"

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1800s:
Corroded brown wool ground: natural iron mordant eating away over two centuries.
Coloured motifs standing proud: natural plant dyes preserving the wool pile.
Hand-spun wool foundation on reverse: village weaving before synthetic yarns and cotton warps.
Archaic palmette lattice: traditional early 19th-century Sauj Bulagh Kurdish composition.
Saturated indigo, madder and aubergine: dyestuffs prepared from natural plant and mineral sources.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This early nineteenth-century hand-knotted wool Kurdish Sauj Bulagh rug displays a distinct tribal aesthetic from the 1800 period. The textile incorporates a corroded brown field where the brown has dropped away to reveal islands of colour, alongside geometric medallions, tribal floral motifs, and border stripes. The palette encompasses terracotta red, green, purple, blue, and ochre yellow tones across a heavily patinated, shimmery surface with visible wear and abrash colour variation. The piece measures 246 cm high by 133 cm wide in practical terms. In a contemporary home, this antique floor covering works effectively as the centrepiece of a gentleman's library or study. Placed on the floor, the heavy wool construction provides warmth and texture underfoot while introducing rich historical character to the interior space.

FAQs

Sauj Bulagh rugs originate from Northwest Persia and are woven by Kurdish tribes, characterized by their heavy wool construction, deep saturated natural dyes, and bold geometric medallion structures.

These rugs are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft, coloured with natural plant and insect dyes.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces display natural dye variations known as abrash, irregular hand-bound edges, high-grade lustrous wool, and flexible, fully woollen foundations.

Position the rug on bare timber floorboards or layer it over neutral natural-fibre carpeting to introduce texture, depth, and historical contrast within contemporary space designs.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating rotary brush bar, rotate annually to balance foot traffic exposure, and utilise a fitted underlay to prevent fiber strain.
