Kurd / 11383

The Kurd, 86 x 325 cm, presents a narrow, medallion-driven silhouette on a warm neutral ground. Linked lozenge centres alternate in madder red and indigo with stylised bird motifs and small floral rosettes in the field. The wool fibre retains a soft, low-distress pile and the double guard borders of repeating floral devices frame the length with measured restraint. The overall effect is of considered colour harmonies and craftful geometry, a quietly assertive antique rug with an intimate, tactile presence. Circa 1890 - 1930 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
