Kurdish Bidjar 1423

This exceptional vintage flat-woven Kurdish kilim from Northwest Persia dates to the early 1900s and features one of the most strikingly ultra-modern designs of its kind. The bold, forward-thinking composition is rendered in a brilliant and harmonious palette of turquoise, green, yellow, ivory, red, brown, and French blue—colors that feel astonishingly contemporary despite being woven over a century ago.

It is remarkable to consider how the weavers conceived such a visionary design at the turn of the 20th century. Versatile and visually compelling, this kilim is equally well suited as a dramatic floor covering or displayed as wall art, where its modernist design can be fully appreciated as a textile tapestry.
