Design Considerations

Village rug showing confluence of design from Kurdish and Turkoman design schools. from the southern foothills of the Alborz mountain range between Qazvin and Tehran.

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."
