Breathtaking Tribal Antique Persian Kurdish Rug, Country Of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rug, Circa Date: 1920

The rug has an all-over design with stately cypress trees rising into a midnight sky. The cypress tree plays an important role in the mythology and legend of the region, as it is a long-lived tree that remains green all winter long. As such, it is a symbol of longevity and life after death. Around the borders of this rug, you will see this symbol for running water, which is essential to life. As you can see, this rug is as fascinating as it is beautiful.

This rug has deep, saturated colors and a more formal quality than you usually find in tribal rugs. It would make a beautiful addition to a formal room with traditional decor. Persian rugs are always a favorite to add texture and color for those who consider an eclectic Boho chic to be their favorite style. The Kurdish tribes have a vast repertoire of designs, and their color combinations are among some of the most beautiful, too.
