Antique Persian Kurdish Rug | Dated 1867
We are honored to present a truly exceptional piece of textile history—an Antique Persian Kurdish Rug, hand-knotted in the late 19th century and distinctly dated 1867. Originating from the rugged and culturally rich Kurdish regions of northwestern Iran, this rare artifact reflects the artistic soul and weaving mastery of a proud nomadic tradition.
Woven entirely by hand using age-old techniques passed down through generations, the rug showcases natural vegetable dyes that have gracefully matured over time, resulting in a warm, soulful patina. Its intricate geometric motifs and dynamic tribal patterns are emblematic of Kurdish weavings—bold, expressive, and imbued with deep symbolism.
The craftsmanship is evident not only in the harmony of color and design but in the exceptional durability and integrity of the wool, a testament to the enduring quality of 19th-century Persian weavings.
At Kian Rug Company, we celebrate such heirlooms not merely as floor coverings, but as living art—pieces that carry the stories of their makers and the cultural landscapes from which they came.
This 1867 Kurdish rug is more than an antique; it is a woven legacy.
