Kurd / 11383

The Kurd measures 2' 10" x 10' 8" and reads as a long, composed study in colour and form. A warm neutral field stages a procession of linked lozenge medallions in madder red and indigo, the spaces enlivened by small geometric bird motifs and clustered rosettes. Narrow guard borders, with repeated flowering elements, contain the composition while the wool pile remains soft with low distress. The palette and hand-tuned abstractions convey a lived, craft-driven presence, an antique rug that balances bold medallion rhythm with a quiet, tactile surface. Circa 1900 - 1915
