Woven nearly a century ago by Kurdish tribal weavers of Northwest Persia, this small antique rug showcases a powerful design and story. It features a poled medallion flanked by stylized floral motifs, and protective geometric symbols — all classic elements of Kurdish design language.
With a low pile and worn areas earned through generations of use, it holds that coveted lived-in texture and patina collectors love. The natural vegetable-dyed wool reveals a rich palette of midnight navy, ocean blue, teal, deep madder red, ivory, and green— all showing off natural abrash (variation in tone) from small-batch wool dyeing. The border is beautiful with interlocking motifs. A petite powerhouse of a rug, ideal for entryways, layering, or living solo as a soulful floor accent.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool circa 1920.
