Kurdish 1048

Be enchanted with the whimsical charm and exceptional artistry of this vintage Persian Kurdish area rug from the late 19th century.  The rug features a beautiful and highly desirable allover paisley design, with a captivating twist: each paisley form incorporates other intricate and whimsical designs within it. This playful and creative approach to a classic motif results in a truly one-of-a-kind rug. The powerful allover pattern is set against a rich field, creating a dynamic and engaging visual narrative.

The border is a masterwork in itself, rendered in a beautiful antique red color with large design forms in a harmonious palette of yellow, blue, orange, and green. The artistry is further enhanced by the beautiful abrash colors—a natural color variation that is especially visible on the border. This phenomenon is a result of the use of organic vegetable dyes that change and mellow gradually over time, adding to the artistic value and authenticity of the rug.
