Kurdish Rugs, Persia
The Kurds are a distinct ethnic group, speaking their own ancient language, Kurdish, and are presently distributed across areas of northwest Iran, northeast Iraq, Syria, eastern Turkey and Armenia. In some areas they constitute the majority or totality of the population, while in others they form significant minorities. The Kurds have been in the region since recorded history began. They are the Medes of the Greek historian Herodotus in the fifth century BC and were one of the satrapal (vassal) peoples of the Achaemenian Empire. They were promised their own state in the Treaty of Versailles, but have never been united into a single sovereign geopolitical entity.
Their wide dispersal has given rise to a number of distinct weaving areas: Northern Kurdistan from Kars to Lake Urumia; Central Kurdistan around Kirkuk; Eastern Kurdistan from Suj Bulagh to Senneh; Southern Kurdistan including Hamadan and Mosul; Western Kurdistan centered around Diyarbekir; and an outpost in Khorassan around Quchan. Each area weaves carpets with their own characteristics and the districts are by no means homogeneous in their productions. There is as much variety within each as between them.
All antique Kurdish rugs, no matter what their geographic origin are symmetrically (Turkish) knotted. That is about all of their commonality. [...]
