Origin: Kurdish
Date: Last quarter of the 19th century
Dimensions: 307 × 121 cm
Description:
What sets this Kurdish runner apart is the heartfelt story woven into its very structure. In the early rows, the floral motifs appear slightly uneven—wobbly shrubs, tentative symmetry, and irregular flow—traces of a young Kurdish girl’s first attempts at weaving. Row by row, she learns, adjusts, and perseveres, until the fourth line of blossoms, where the hand changes. There, with loving precision, her mother steps in. From that point onward, the motifs settle into a graceful rhythm, each rosette now blooming with maternal mastery. This rug is not merely a textile—it’s a dialogue across generations, where skill, tradition, and tenderness are passed from hand to hand, knot by knot.
