This fabulous antique 1920s Persian Kurdish rug packs a lot of charisma into a nearly 6' x 8' frame. The inky blue ground shifts into a lighter blue through natural abrash, giving it a dynamic look that's anything but flat. The grid-like display of paisley motifs and angular forms play tricks on the eye and if you stare long enough, you might start seeing faces. Maybe they're guardians, keeping watch. S-hook motifs pop up too, a known symbol to ward off the evil eye.
There's a strong sense of rhythm throughout the design, from the main field to the abrash-kissed border bands that dazzle with abstract botanical motifs against a blush pink ground. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, it’s soft to the touch and still plush underfoot. Scattered wear adds a bit of character but doesn’t get in the way. This fantastic rug is in good condition and ready to anchor a room with a funky style.
The rug has soft to the touch wool and will feel like a dream underfoot.
