Kurdish Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Kurdish Persian rug, measuring 11'10" x 4'12", showcases the exceptional artistry of Persian weavers from the mountainous Kurdistan region. With its 40-60 years of refined aging, this hand-knotted masterpiece displays a breathtaking medallion (Toranj) design surrounded by intricate geometric patterns and traditional Herati motifs, creating a harmonious blend of classical Persian elements that speaks to centuries of weaving tradition.
The Kurdish weavers of Kermanshah, Khorasan, and Mazandaran have long been celebrated for their distinctive approach to rug making, combining nomadic tribal influences with sophisticated Persian court designs. This particular piece exemplifies their mastery through its bold use of natural dyes and the perfect balance between the central medallion and surrounding geometric borders. The Herati pattern, also known as Mahi or fish design, adds delicate movement throughout the field, creating visual depth that draws the eye inward.
The rich color palette of deep red, navy blue, and lustrous madder red forms the foundation of this stunning composition, while accents of black, cream, gold, and burgundy create sophisticated contrasts that enhance each design element. The madder red, derived from the root of the madder plant, displays the warm, earthy tones that only natural dyes can achieve, while the navy blue provides grounding depth that makes the brighter colors truly luminous.
This versatile 11'10" x 4'12" foot runner works beautifully in hallways, entryways, or as a dramatic accent in dining rooms and living spaces, where its narrow proportions create elegant pathways while showcasing the intricate medallion design. The semi antique patina adds character and warmth that instantly elevates any interior, making it a perfect choice for both traditional and contemporary settings. As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted creation, this Kurdish masterpiece brings authentic Persian heritage and timeless sophistication to your home.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional semi antique Kurdish rug, where the combination of symmetrical and asymmetrical knotting techniques creates the dense, durable weave characteristic of the finest Persian craftsmanship. The natural wool and cotton foundation ensures longevity, while the traditional fringe adds the finishing touch to this remarkable piece of Persian artistry.
