In this century-old nomadic Kurdish weaving, stylized flowers delight the eye against an exquisite backdrop of rich blues. Antique Kurdish carpets have long been highly regarded for their remarkable range of natural dye work. This especially engaging example does not disappoint--deeply saturated accent colors of turmeric yellow, leaf green, carnelian and sapphire blue add to the joyful spontaneity that fills every compositional zone. This stellar folk art rug is superbly preserved in exceptional heavy-pile condition for forgiving floor use in virtually any circumstance.
