Vintage Kurdish Kazan Style Runner Rug – Hand Knotted Wool Geometric Carpet 372 x 94cm

A striking Kurdish runner of bold geometric character, hand-knotted in wool and dating to the late 20th century. The piece carries the unmistakable language of tribal weaving—confident, angular motifs arranged in a rhythmic sequence across a rich madder-toned field.

Each medallion is articulated with sharp, almost architectural precision, interspersed with smaller symbolic devices that speak to protection, identity, and the visual storytelling inherent in Kurdish textiles. The border, rendered in a lighter ground, provides a lively counterpoint with its repeated rosette forms, framing the composition with colour and movement.

The palette is particularly successful—deep reds, indigo, saffron, and softer lilac tones—working together in a way that feels both traditional and unexpectedly modern. Subtle variations in the ground colour reveal the hand of the weaver and the natural inconsistencies of small-scale dyeing.

This is a practical and decorative runner, well suited to hallways or narrow spaces, offering both durability and a strong visual statement.
