Kurdish Camelhair 1949

This authentic antique Persian Kurdish camel hair runner, dating to the early 1900s.  . Handwoven from lustrous camel hair wool, this vintage runner features a warm, natural camel-toned field adorned with an intricate allover small-scale floral motif—a delicate variation of the traditional paisley (boteh) design.

The repeating pattern showcases finely detailed flower heads in ivory, blue, green, pink, and navy, creating a rhythmic and harmonious composition that feels both refined and organic. The understated elegance of the design allows the rug to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of interiors, from classic and traditional to modern and eclectic.

Framing the field is a beautifully executed triple border, adding depth, structure, and visual balance. The precision of the border work reflects the skill of Kurdish weavers, known for their durable constructions and artistic versatility.

Kurdish camel hair runners are celebrated for their exceptional durability, soft texture, and naturally rich coloration. The use of undyed camel hair lends a subtle luster and warmth that cannot be replicated with synthetic dyes.
