Antique Persian Kurdish Blue 1900s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional piece originates from the Kurdish weaving traditions within Iranian / Persian rugs, showcasing the robust, geometric artistry characteristic of nomadic and village production at the turn of the 20th century.
The field is dominated by a saturated, deep indigo—a classic dye choice among blue color rugs of this period—providing a dramatic contrast to the earthy terracotta and madder red used in the secondary details. The central panel features a highly stylized, almost abstract Tree of Life motif, surrounded by dense, repeating tribal elements that lend the piece a compelling allover design aesthetic despite its vertical orientation.
Woven in a narrow, elongated format, this textile functions ideally among hallway runner rugs, offering a striking visual pathway. The sturdy, hand-knotted construction speaks to the durability required of pieces used in traditional nomadic settings, ensuring its longevity as a functional work of art.
Representing a fine example of early 20th-century tribal weaving, this Kurdish rug possesses both historical significance and powerful decorative appeal. It is a distinguished addition to our curated collection of antique rugs, perfect for the collector seeking authenticity and rich, saturated color.
