Antique Red Quchan - Kordi Persian Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of nomadic weaving originates from the Kurdish tribes settled near Quchan in Khorasan. It is a powerful testament to the enduring traditions of antique rugs crafted for personal use rather than for commercial export markets. The palette is rich and earthy, dominated by deep indigo, saffron yellow, and a magnificent, saturated field color. The primary hue is a striking red color achieved through natural dyes, providing a warmth and depth that only age can enhance. The field is organized into distinct horizontal registers filled with bold, stylized medallions. A unique, highly stylized central motif dominates the composition, often interpreted as a protective talisman or a stylized animal figure, characteristic of Kordi iconography.
