Late 19th century Persian Kurdish camel hair runner in a geometric pattern. Camel hair rugs and runners are among the most sought-after and collectible tribal weavings, particularly by discerning homeowners and interior design professionals who appreciate their unique beauty and inherent rarity.
This beautiful Kurdish camel hair runner is a testament to fine tribal craftsmanship, featuring a captivating geometric pattern that adorns its natural, undyed camel hair background. The body of the runner showcases a dynamic arrangement of various geometric forms, brought to life with a vibrant palette including serene blue, delicate pink, classic red, and verdant green hues.
Adding to its unique charm and narrative, the main field is interspersed with additional delightful animal forms, which imbue this village carpet with a playful spirit and a deeper connection to its nomadic origins. These whimsical elements contribute significantly to the rug's overall character and appeal.
The design is elegantly framed by a crisp white background border, which is itself richly detailed with its own intricate geometric forms, creating a striking contrast that highlights the vibrant colors of the field. The use of natural vegetable dyes throughout this rug has not only provided beautiful, rich colors but also allowed them to develop a magnificent patina over the past century of use, a testament to its authentic age and enduring beauty.
