5'-3" x 7'-9"
AGE & ORIGIN:
19th C.
Persia
OVERVIEW:
Fractured, yet untouched by any modern repairs, this Kurdish rugs remains in nearly original condition. Despite the jagged and sometimes unfinished borders, dwindling boteh, and motifs that are supplanted by entirely different sects of design. What at first seems like a hodge-podge of repairs that have created a ‘Frankenstein’s monster’ of a rug, are entirely native (in this writer’s opinion).
Rare formations of chevron and meandering toothy floral minor borders. Pile pocked with analogous tones creating a visually intriguing and dynamic pile.
The most essential form of folk art.
Most likely a Sanjabi Kurd rug hailing from Western Persia.
NOTES:
Shades of aubergine, rose, forest and celery green
Soft, full pile
2 holes that have been professionally patched (see pictures), a small darned area and one small (~1” sq.) patch in the outer border
One original end, one end that has been conserved
