Description
Lovely colours on this late 19th century runner, from the Kurdish weavers of the North-West of Persia, this antique runner has some wonderful light floral designs. The off-white border tone on this runner lifts the palette and works with the golden tones, and muted red pink colours. In great pile with very minimal lower areas of pile. Ends and sides have been secured.
Woven in a loom in the ground, these were often taken up when the Kurd weavers would move onto pastures new. So they were rarely completely straight, this runner is very close to being straight. This adds a great deal to these collectable and beautiful runners in our opinion, and when laid flat on the floor with our underlay it would look superb, bringing colour and charm to a space.
Visit our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey, we are open Monday to Saturday by appointment. Or allow us to visit you with this antique runner so you can trial it at home soon.

Kurdish rug weavers were mainly woman who adapted and experimented with neighbouring weaving designs and used them in their own carpets. Nomadic rugs of the Kurds of Azerbaijan and the Caucasus used often primitive designs, whereas the the Kurdish Northwest Persia weavers used Caucasian designs of Kazak and Karabagh such as the diagonally striped field or bold geometric motifs.
Kurdish carpets are on the whole are coarse in comparison to the sophisticated rugs of Senneh, the capital of Kurdistan. The designs can be similar to that of Senneh, more often open in pattern and will use the ‘Boteh’ motifs or stylised flowers, ‘S’ Sun motifs or striped patterns such as on this runner.
