This beautiful antique Kurdish tribal wool rug is a striking example of rustic elegance and cultural richness. Handwoven with wool, the rug features a deep indigo field densely populated with stylised floral and geometric motifs, arranged in a lively lattice composition. Bold medallions in rich hues of rust, terracotta, saffron, and sky blue punctuate the design, each framed by angular vinework and symbolic tribal motifs that speak to the weaver’s heritage.
The border structure is equally elaborate, with a wide main border displaying a succession of abstracted rosettes and hooked forms on a brick-red ground, flanked by creamy ivory guard borders with reciprocal floral and leaf motifs. The combination of bold colour contrasts and energetic patterning showcases the Kurdish aesthetic as earthy, expressive, and deeply rooted in nomadic traditions.
Woven in a mountainous region, this piece displays the hallmark irregularities and soul of Kurdish craftsmanship, making it not only a functional textile but a storied heirloom full of character and identity.
Authentic vintage and antique Kurdish rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.

Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping.
