About the Item

Antique Red Quchan – Kordi Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of nomadic weaving originates from the Kurdish tribes settled near Quchan in Khorasan. It is a powerful testament to the enduring traditions of antique rugs crafted for personal use rather than for commercial export markets. The palette is rich and earthy, dominated by deep indigo, saffron yellow, and a magnificent, saturated field color. The primary hue is a striking red color achieved through natural dyes, providing a warmth and depth that only age can enhance. The field is organized into distinct horizontal registers filled with bold, stylized medallions. A unique, highly stylized central motif dominates the composition, often interpreted as a protective talisman or a stylized animal figure, characteristic of Kordi iconography. The surrounding geometric forms—including nested squares and stepped diamonds—demonstrate a raw, uninhibited artistic vision, distinguishing it from more formal urban designs. Given its narrow and elongated proportions, this piece functions perfectly as a distinctive hallway runner rug. Its sturdy, hand-knotted construction and robust wool pile have preserved the vibrancy of the dyes over more than a century, offering both historical integrity and practical durability for the modern interior.
