Object Description
From the Kurdish weavers of the North-West of Persia, this antique runner has some great colours and design elements. Using designs we often see in Turkmen rugs from Turkmenistan and up into Uzbekistan. The geometric gul motif in the centre with varying colours we see on Tekke rugs, is an unusual design to find on Kurdish weavings. With stunning blues, reds and greens, using natural dyes, this tribal runner is in lovely condition too. The minor borders are intact and we have a nice soft wool pile on this runner.
Woven in a loom in the ground, these were often taken up when the Kurd weavers would move onto pastures new. So they were rarely completely straight, this runner is very close to being straight. This adds a great deal to these collectable and beautiful runners in our opinion, and when laid flat on the floor with our underlay it would look superb, bringing colour and charm to a space.
