Description:
SALE11) Quchan Kurd
A large, circa 1900, Quchan Kurd pile rug from North East Iran. The
designs in this rug are related to West Persian Kurdish groups that
moved from their ancestral homelands to Eastern Persia in the 17th
century. Some of the design influences of the noble West Persian
Bakthiari tribe are also represented in the borders. The Quchan Kurds
primarily produced weavings only for their own utilitarian purposes,
thus pile rugs of this type are very seldom available in the market.
They are rarely seen outside of the tribal villages near Meshed. In
addition to the colorful palette, note the large center medallion, the
graphic imagery in the central fields and the dramatic ivory white
borders. All natural dyes.
Overall condition is excellent. This is a rare and wonderful example of
antique tribal weaving.
Dimensions are 130" x 60."
