Kurd / 26659

This Kurd antique rug, measuring 3' 5" x 13' 10", brings together a long, narrow format with a layered field of geometric medallions and scrolling floral borders. The palette is grounded in ivory, faded red, brown, muted blue, and grey, with the central register carrying more saturation than the outer framing. Its surface shows low distress, with gentle fading and an eased, timeworn hand that softens the drawing without losing clarity. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as composed, restrained, and richly patterned, with the quiet irregularities that give an antique rug its presence.
