Antique Persian Kurdish Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa: Early 20th Century – Angular, tribal-influenced details rendered in a diverse selection of clear colors create an outstanding allover pattern that decorates this classic Kurdish rug. Rendered in a traditional tribal style, this antique Persian rug is decorated with a bold selection of clear colors, including flaxen yellow, jadeite green, cerulean blue and fiery brick red. A central Memling-style dragon motif and geometric medallions break up the dazzling latticework pattern, which features checkered dividing lines and decorative floral sprays that take on a humanoid appearance. Contrasting outlines and hairline details emphasize the precise angles found within each traditional pattern. Interlocking scrollwork guard-bands and intriguing counterchange borders decorated with geometric animals and auspicious goz symbols continue the symbolic tribal theme that appears in every aspect of the intricate latticework pattern and complex borders.
