Woven by Kurdish artisans in the rugged, mountainous regions of northwestern Iran, this antique runner beautifully exemplifies a rich nomadic weaving heritage. Kurdish rugs are historically celebrated for their use of robust, high-altitude mountain wool and their bold, deeply symbolic tribal geometries. Because these textiles were traditionally woven entirely from memory rather than formal written blueprints, they often serve as vivid visual storytelling devices. The prominent angular motifs and prominent latch-hook extensions seen in this piece are deeply rooted in regional folklore, historically functioning as protective talismans meant to ward off the evil eye and safeguard the weaver’s family. This 3′ x 12’8″ ft. runner is anchored by a luminous, expansive madder red field. Running along the central vertical axis is a striking, minimalist “pole” design that connects a series of small, intricately woven diamond medallions in deep navy blue. The vibrant crimson canvas is dramatically shaped by stepped, geometric spandrels and latch-hook forms reaching inward from the edges, creating a captivating interplay of color and negative space. This dynamic, open interior is formally contained by an elegant border system, featuring a warm olive-gold primary border intricately adorned with repeating angular vines and classic tribal rosettes. Crafted with thick, hand-spun wool, this antique piece offers an exceptionally resilient pile engineered to easily withstand generations of heavy daily foot traffic. Its impressive nearly 13-foot length and commanding geometric aesthetic make it a phenomenal architectural asset, perfectly suited for running the length of a sweeping transitional corridor, grounding a long gallery space, or bringing profound historical warmth to a grand staircase.

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-knotted rug, regular maintenance is essential. We recommend vacuuming your rug frequently, being careful to turn off the beater bar to prevent damaging the natural fibers and delicate fringe. If spills occur, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing, which can push the stain deeper. Rotating your piece every few months will help it wear evenly and minimize color fading from direct sunlight. Finally, to truly protect your investment, we advise having your rug professionally washed at our Evanston cleaning facility every few years to gently remove deeply embedded dirt and restore its original luster.
