Antique Quchan - Kordi Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This striking example of an early 20th-century textile originates from the Quchan region of Khorasan, demonstrating the powerful, geometric aesthetic characteristic of Iranian / Persian rugs. The design is intensely tribal, featuring large, stepped medallions and complex, angular motifs set against a rich, saturated field. This specific style is attributed to the Kordi weavers, a nomadic group whose work is highly prized among collectors of kurdish textiles. The dense, hand-spun wool and robust knotting ensure a durable and tactile surface that speaks to its village origins. The palette is masterful, dominated by a deep aubergine field that provides a dramatic backdrop for the secondary colors.
