Kurdish Runner
4ft 4in x 11ft 4in
Late 19th Century
Highly eccentric drawing and an evocative, time-softened patina give this singular antique Kurdish tribal Oriental runner carpet an unique allure, irresistible to collectors. A richly abrash striated ground is home to an allover pattern of freely drawn boteh forms. Set upon this rhythmically flowing field, each motif retains its own individuality, aligned in loose rows beside a sprinkling of enigmatic human and bird images. Sophisticated geometric borders, including the unique band lining the edges of the field, generate further interest.
