Kurdish Persian Rugs
This magnificent Kurdish Persian rug, measuring 7'9" x 4'11", captures the spiritual essence and artistic mastery of semi antique Persian weaving traditions. Dating from 40-60 years ago, this prayer rug showcases the iconic mihrab design, a sacred architectural motif that has graced Persian carpets for centuries, rendered here in a stunning palette of deep red, navy blue, and cream accents with touches of brown, black, and gold.
The Kurdish weavers of Persia's mountainous regions have long been celebrated for their exceptional skill in creating prayer rugs that serve both functional and spiritual purposes. This particular piece originates from the rugged landscapes of Kurdistan, Kermanshah, Khorasan, or Mazandaran, where nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes developed their distinctive weaving techniques over generations. The geometric patterns surrounding the central mihrab create a harmonious framework that speaks to the mathematical precision and artistic vision of its creators.
The mihrab, or prayer niche design, represents one of the most revered motifs in Persian carpet weaving, symbolizing the direction of prayer and serving as a spiritual focal point. The rich red field provides a warm foundation for the intricate geometric medallion work, while the navy blue borders create dramatic contrast and visual depth. The cream highlights and golden accents add luminosity to the overall composition, creating a piece that commands attention while maintaining its contemplative character.
This semi antique hand-knotted masterpiece features 100% natural wool pile on a cotton foundation, woven using both symmetrical Ghiordes and asymmetrical Persian knots that create its distinctive texture and durability. As a one-of-a-kind piece, this rug brings irreplaceable character and authenticity to any interior space it graces. The 7'9" x 4'11" foot size makes it perfect for creating an intimate seating area, defining a reading nook, or serving as a stunning accent piece in bedrooms or studies.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional Kurdish prayer rug, complete with traditional fringed edges that showcase the weaver's attention to finishing details. Whether displayed in a contemporary setting where its bold colors provide striking contrast, or in a traditional space where its cultural heritage shines, this semi antique treasure represents the enduring appeal of authentic Persian craftsmanship and the timeless beauty of Kurdish weaving traditions.
