Persian Rugs/Kurdish Rugs: Persian Kolyai Kurd Rug

3 1/2 by 5 Foot Persian Kolyai Kurdish Rug

Very attractive thick pile rug new Persian Kurdish Rug. Nice colors, great pink none of the neon colors used in the post embargo rugs. This is an extremely well made tribal rug from the Kolyai tribe which is one of the principle Kurdish tribes and certainly a major Kurdish rug producing tribe

I bought two of these rugs that were about the same size and similar pattern. When I bought them I thought they were a pair but the more I looked the more I saw how different they were. Often times one village will produce one principle style of rug.
