Description

From the Kurdish weavers of the North-West of Persia, this antique runner has some great colours and design elements. Using designs we often see in Turkmen rugs from Turkmenistan and up into Uzbekistan. The geometric gul motif in the centre with varying colours we see on Tekke rugs, is an unusual design to find on Kurdish weavings.  With stunning blues, reds and greens, using natural dyes, this tribal runner is in lovely condition too.  The minor borders are intact and we have a nice soft wool pile on this runner.

Woven in a loom in the ground, these were often taken up when the Kurd weavers would move onto pastures new.  So they were rarely completely straight, this runner is very close to being straight.  This adds a great deal to these collectable and beautiful runners in our opinion, and when laid flat on the floor with our underlay it would look superb, bringing colour and charm to a space.

Visit our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey, we are open Monday to Saturday by appointment.  Or allow us to visit you with this antique runner so you can trial it at home soon.

Date of Manufacture

Farnham Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Kurdish Runner to the 1890s.

FAQs

An antique Kurdish runner is a long, narrow handwoven carpet traditionally crafted by nomadic and village weavers in the Kurdistan region, known for distinct geometric motifs and rich natural dyes.

These rugs are typically constructed with handspun wool piles knotted onto wool or cotton foundations, utilizing traditional vegetable and insect dyes for lasting colouration.

Authenticity is identified through irregularities in weave, handspun yarn variations, natural dye oxidisation, and traditional tribal iconography such as repeated medallions and hooked motifs.

This piece works effectively along corridors, entryways, or narrow galleries to add texture and warmth against hardwood or neutral flooring.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional organic washing when necessary, and the use of a breathable rug underlay to prevent friction wear.
