Kurd / 12036

A handwoven Kurd runner in wool, the long field organised into rows of petite palmettes and floral lozenges set against a soft cream ground with cool blue-green abrash. The broad pale border is punctuated by geometric star-cross motifs in muted brown and faded rose, the inner guard providing a subtle chequered rhythm. Surface wear is modest and even, the pile low and tactile, lending a gentle patina without heavy loss. The restrained palette and disciplined repeat give this antique rug a quietly modern restraint rooted in traditional craft. Circa 1900 - 1920. Size: 86 x 305 cm.
