Kurd / 12616

Kurd is a narrow wool runner with a composed, tactile presence. A muted blue field carries a repeating arabesque and palmette vocabulary, its motifs softened by time and low, even wear. Warm ivory guard borders with geometric cartouches frame the central repeat, lending restraint to the composition while preserving a hand-worked character. The wool pile reads with subtle abrash and a gently rubbed surface that enhances depth without significant loss. Circa 1890 - 1905. This long-proportioned antique rug measures 3' 7" x 16' 5" and embodies a quiet, heritage-aware aesthetic.
