Handmade Antique Kordi Carpet 1900s 590 x 280cm (19.4′ x 9.2′)

This antique Kordi carpet is a striking and highly collectable example of Persian village weaving, created around the turn of the 20th century. Its generous proportions and confident design make it a powerful statement piece, yet the overall feel remains balanced and refined. The deep blue field displays gentle abrash, giving the surface a natural sense of movement and age. Three softly drawn red medallions float across the centre, creating rhythm without overwhelming the space. In the spandrels, traditional Mahi motifs appear alongside small tribal details, including a charming camel figure that adds warmth and narrative character. A wide red geometric border frames the composition with strength and clarity, grounding the design and enhancing its visual impact. The palette of blue and red feels timeless, rich without being heavy. Hand-knotted in wool and dyed using traditional methods, this carpet showcases the skilled craftsmanship of Kordi weavers. Minor historic repairs have been carried out sensitively and do not detract from the overall presence or integrity of the piece. Well suited to large hallways or formal dining spaces, this carpet offers scale, authenticity, and quiet confidence. It is a rare and characterful textile that brings history, craftsmanship, and depth into the interior.
