Description

Beautiful late 19th Century Persian Room Size Rug. Hailing from the Kurdish villages of Northwestern Persia.  The Kurdish  rugs are renowned for their bold designs, brilliant colors, and the use of natural vegetable dyes that imbue each piece with a profound and lasting beauty.

This beautiful room size rug features a captivating and iconic design: a large, elongated oversized medallion that commands a big portion of the field. The medallions, in harmonious shades of warm rust, serene blue, and creamy ivory, are adorned with intricate designs of scrolling vines and delicate flowers. The main field is an enchanting abrash blue, with visible streaks of lighter blue throughout. This natural variation is a direct result of the hand-coloring process with vegetable dyes and adds to the uniqueness and authentic artistry of this rug.

The rug’s composition is masterfully framed by multiple borders. The main border is a luminous cream color, featuring a sophisticated geometric design that provides a refined contrast to the central field. The design also makes liberal and beautiful use of verdant green in both the field and the borders, further enhancing the rug's overall aesthetic and visual appeal.
