Antique Kurdish Rug Runner

About the Item

Kurdish – Northwest Persia Twelve lozenge-shaped medallions with serrated borders and arrowheads are aligned over an abrashed navy blue field. The medallions are incomplete at the bottom and top of the rug, interrupted by the borders, giving a sense of continuity and infinity. Two borders in the shape of an S on the right side and an inverted S on the left, surrounded by flowers, protect this elegant rug. The rug is clean and ready for use. Kurdish rugs are as diverse as the ethnic weavers who created them. Kurdish groups traditionally populate Turkey’s eastern border, northern Iraq, eastern Persia, and small areas near the east Persian borders. In western Iran, people in Iranian Kurdistan and the West Azerbaijan province handcraft Kurdish rugs. Several subgroups among Kurdish artists, such as the Jaff and Sanjabi, produce their own designs. Antique Kurdish rugs often feature elegant curvy bushes, superb herati motifs, memling guls, and exquisite flowers. Their style ranges from formal to casual. The designs are varied, and the colours are exuberant. The colour of the Kurdish rugs is superb, with shades of terracotta, burnt orange, blue, green, and saffron yellow. The lustrous, silky wool that Kurdish weavers often use significantly enhances these colour effects. Rug patterns and symbols used by Kurdish artists came to be used by neighbouring artists. From graphic styles to beautiful colours and iconic patterns, antique Kurdish rugs have numerous features that make them highly desirable. Until recently, Kurdish rugs were essentially an unrecognized genre of rug production. Most of them were confused with rugs from other neighbouring peoples. Nowadays, the production of Kurdish rugs is better understood, making the difference between Turkish, Caucasian, and Persian rug productions different from Kurdish rugs. Kurdish populations remain widely distributed across the Middle East and Central Asia. Although they have their language, their culture tends to absorb the local characteristics of where they live. Kurdish rugs from Anatolia have designs and techniques similar to Turkish rugs, just as Kurds from East Anatolian and Caucasian regions produced rugs similar to Caucasian rugs. At the same time, those from Persia made rugs identical to Persians. However, the rugs produced by Kurds have a unique set of qualities that distinguish them from the larger context in which they were made. These qualities are consistent and clearly discernible, which sets them apart. The quality of rugs produced by Persian Kurds differs from those made by Kurds across the border – Iraq and Turkey. Eclectic, featuring Persian influence in both design and quality, the Kurdish Persian rug is a thinner, more knitted and less tribal rug – the threads are trimmed almost like classic Persian rugs. The geographic position within Iran is another factor: in the north, Kurdish rugs often incorporate prominent geometric figures in the central field, usually seen in the Karabagh style, while in the south, rugs may feature an arboreal design with flowering shrubs arranged in rows – more typical of the Persian style.
