Design Considerations

Beautiful, likely all vegetal dyes, rare single wefted Antique Kurdish Rug. Early 20th Century. Stunning colors.

One of the great authorities on rugs, Murray Eiland said, "If we were to designate a fifth major category of oriental rug, there would be convincing arguments that Kurdish weavers are an entity in themselves... Nevertheless, judging by by the variety of patterns and techniques, by their large output for probably many centuries, and by the quality of their best pieces, the Kurds should certainly rank among the most imaginative and prolific of weavers."

The beauty of this rug certainly reinforces his expert opinion. Previous owner had hung rug; loops still attached.

Thank you.
