Title: LION & SUN Antique Kurdish Runner | A GEM in Coral, Indigo, Saffron, Sage

Size: 3 x 15.5

Age: Antique, C. 1920's

Pile: Low/Medium pile with age-related wear and patina. Fantastic character and genuine old aesthetic that we're always after. I'm getting this piece fully restored, so it'll be in MINT CONDITION. This piece is worth that!

About: Look closely, you'll see the intention of a true proud weaver of her land and what her land and people stand for. Inspired by nature, and led by the Sun and all of the symbolism that comes with the Lion - this piece is perfect for a wholehearted art-loving human that UNDERSTANDS what the Lion & Sun represent in the Persian culture, BEFORE Islam ever found its way to Persia/Iran. I don't want to get political, but just ask a Persian what the Lion and Sun mean to them, their family, their land, and their ancestry - and you will get a history lesson that will captivate you, and possibly some tears or goosebumps as we take this very seriously and with a lot of heart.

This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one in the world; no others are 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.
