Antique Persian Kurdish Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – This handsome antique Kurdish rug features an elegant pattern of repeating guls decorated with auspicious eight-pointed stars. Small-scale lozenges create a minor repeating pattern that complements the divided lozenge protection symbols that appear inside each star motif. The grand main borders depict an articulated repeating pattern of irregular wineglass motifs and arthropod figures set over a deep walnut-colored background. These dark accent colors tie together the soothing assortment of earth-tone colors and the cool jewel tones that appear within the chic ivory field. Broad outer borders filled with softly colored churn dash motifs complete the formal composition of this warm and inviting antique Kurdish rug from Persia.
