Name: RARE SIZE Antique Kurdish Kelleh Gallery Runner | C. 1900's with Gorgeous Dyes
Size: 7.4 x 19.5
Age: Antique; C. 1900's
Pile: Low pile with age-related wear and patina throughout. See pics for some of the gorgeous wool foundation showing (that is all raw organic sheep and goat hair!) and I've pointed out a few of the restored areas etc, which again is to be expected on a piece of this age!
About: READ THAT SIZE AGAIN! 😅 Where on planet Earth are you going to find another piece this size!? Antique gem worn to perfection with gorgeous Coral turtle border with infinitely deep indigo field of the iconic Water Garden design- tons of greens, ice blues, dusty honey-lemon, camel, mature reds, rust, beige, and more! Yummy floppy handle with wool pile and wool foundation give the rug a nice luxurious feel and handle. Definitely order a great custom cut pad with this piece (and with any century or older piece with wool on wool foundation!). Drop JAWS with this size for your commercial or residential space!
This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one available.
Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects.
Any questions about this rug? Don't hesitate to reach out!
We always recommend a high-quality custom cut pad for any and all rugs; these pads are made for hand-knotted rugs. They create a body and support the knots of the rug, as well as prevent it from slipping and sliding.
A note from us to you: Buying a rug is special; it's not just you finding the rug, but also the rug finding you. Think about the many coincidences that have to occur for you to find the rug of your dreams. Our rugs are woven by nomads in the villages and remote mountainous regions of the major rug weaving districts across the world. All of our rugs are genuinely old and one-of-a-kind. Like anything old and unique, they are filled with character, soul, and story. The story of a rug is something we think about a lot; who was the weaver(s)? Did they weave it for personal use, commerce, to gift, or trade? Who was the second owner, and the third!? Sometimes the little motifs and symbols in rugs can help tell the story, but we will never truly know - there's something beautiful about that. Alas, our joy is to curate these incredible pieces that speak to us, and to pass them along to their new owners to be enjoyed and cherished for many years to come; both continuing to add to the story of the rug, and to the story of the new owners.
