Antique Kurdish Long Rug 134 x 302cm / 4'4" x 9'11"Richly coloured antique tribal rug from those wonderful Kurds of Western Persia. They knew a thing or two about colour, by the way! Look closely and you will see an extraordinary array of rich, natural dyes. Multiple greens, blues and reds, including a wonderful apricot and a superb purple. All loaded onto the typically shiny, well patinated Kurdish wool. A border full of stylised dragons, and are those turtle moving across the field? Definitely
Theborder in rich terracotta is inoffensive and the colours generally try to fit in with your scheme rather than disturb it- hence the power of the antique rug
although there are accents of taupe
demonstrating the Herati or 'fish' design
Considered by collectors and connoisseurs to be a great work of art
Lots of green highlights
This great decorative carpet will slip into your living room or reception and look like it was always there
possibly mountainous and a fair attempt at aerial perspective has been made
with their relatively limited pallete
this artistic beauty will look devastating in any room it can fit in
Exceptional embroidery from Northern Italy
A very rare silk embroidery
It adds so much depth and movement which is the hallmark of a great suzani
