Antique Kurdish Allover Geometric Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece is a compelling example of late 19th-century kurdish weaving, characterized by robust wool and deeply saturated, organic dyes that speak to its tribal origins. The field is dominated by a deep, resonant indigo, placing this piece firmly within the tradition of sophisticated blue color rugs. This dark ground provides a powerful contrast to the repeating, stylized boteh or shield motifs rendered in oxidized reds and subtle pinks, creating visual depth. The composition utilizes a classic allover design, featuring rows of repeating, stylized medallions that cover the entire field. While highly geometric, the slight variations in color saturation and knotting technique inherent to hand-knotted pieces lend a unique, organic vitality to the overall pattern.
