Bold Red Tribal Mid 19th Century Antique Long and Narrow Kurdish Rug

Antique Kurdish Red 1850s Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional example of a N.W. Persian weaving tradition dates back to the mid-19th century, showcasing the robust, deeply saturated palette characteristic of the region. The field is structured by powerful, interconnected geometric medallions set against a rich, madder-red ground, reflecting the enduring tribal aesthetic of the Caucasus borderlands. The masterful use of natural dyes creates a striking contrast between the dark borders and the fiery central field. Subtle shifts in tone, particularly the oxidized accents and a rich red tone, lend depth and authenticity to the piece, reflecting the age and quality of the wool used by nomadic weavers.
