Antique Kurdish Carpet 307x168cm

This exquisite antique Kurdish carpet comes from the western region of Iran, a renowned hub for some of the most collectible and character-rich tribal weavings in Persian textile history. It features a captivating blue ground adorned with five diamond-shaped medallions, each bearing a symbolic cross motif that reflects the tribal iconography often passed through generations.

Scattered across the field are stylized fish motifs and charming primitive drawings of men and women, adding a human and folkloric element that is both whimsical and culturally significant. These rare figurative elements offer a glimpse into the storytelling nature of Kurdish weaving.

The carpet is elegantly framed by delicate guard borders filled with tiny flowers, while the main border stands out with large, stylized floral motifs in soft pinks and creams, all set against a vibrant red background. This classic red-and-blue contrast is both decorative and timeless.

Woven from exceptionally soft, high-quality wool, the carpet’s surface gleams with a natural sheen, further enhanced by natural plant-based dyes that have aged beautifully. The result is a rich, saturated palette that speaks to the skill of both the spinner and the dyer.

Maintaining a full, even pile, this piece is not only a functional and durable floor covering but also a true work of art—ideal for collectors or anyone looking to add cultural depth, color, and texture to their space.
