Expressive and robust, this antique Persian Kurdish runner (3.10 × 13.3 ft) is steeped in tribal symbolism and raw beauty. Its field is punctuated by a dynamic sequence of large, latch-hooked medallions in coral, camel, and ivory — set against a dramatic chocolate brown ground that gives the upper section a commanding presence. The lower half has faded into soft golden browns, a testament to time and age, adding a soulful duality to the piece.
The stepped medallions are interspersed with stylized rosettes and cross motifs, while the narrow borders — filled with running vine and hooked latticework — lend structure to the otherwise freeform layout. It’s a rug that wears its story proudly, with both bold contrasts and gentle wear marking its authenticity.
