Beautiful Antique Tribal Kurdish Persian Rug Runner 49275, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rug, Circa Date: Late 19th century – This is an antique Persian Kurdish rug, a beautiful antique runner rug that combines an earth tone background with colorful blue and terracotta accent color palettes. The geometric and floral motifs emphasize the light and dark contrast, and the repeating diamond shaped medallions draw attention to the middle of this antique carpet. Stylized flowers soften the geometrical pattern. Large, solid color background surfaces alternate with intricate decorative design, which creates interest and adds an attractive harmony to the antique Persian rug. The earthy camel color background shows the luster of the wool, and the smooth underside of the rug confirms the mastery of the weaver. A wide edging completes the look with elaborate repeating motifs that carry over the contrasting color selection from the heart of the pattern.
A dark border surrounding all motifs create a visually pleasing symmetry. This, upon closer examination, highlights the uniqueness of the hand-crafted design. No two flowers are exactly the same. Each geometric shape is a little different. This reflects the personal touch and talent of the rug weaver. The earthy contrast against the dark border delineates the main patterns and lends a finishing touch.
This medium size runner is a low-profile antique rug that stands up to use and fits well in most hallways and wider gallery size corridors. It is also a good decorating option for hallway walls and large surfaces. The light-earthy background brightens the space while the vivid happy colors bring attention to the patterns. Muted shades of the main colors subtly complement the pattern and it is a self-contained antique Persian rug that can tie in with any home’s interior décor.
