This an antique Persian Kurdish runner displays a classic tribal design with rows of small repeating boteh motifs densely packed across a deep navy field. The pattern creates a rhythmic, all-over effect typical of Kurdish village weavers from northwest Iran. Multiple borders frame the field, featuring geometric repeats and small floral elements in contrasting red and navy.
Kurdish rugs are known for their sturdy construction and use of natural wool, making them durable for high-traffic areas like hallways or long corridors. This piece likely dates to the mid-20th century or earlier, showing authentic hand-knotting with some natural wear that adds character without compromising structure.
Ideal for narrow spaces, entryways, or along furniture in traditional or eclectic homes. The bold yet balanced colors pair well with wooden floors and add warmth and pattern without overwhelming a room. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning will help maintain its vibrancy over time.
