Mina Khani Rug

The source of the rug comes from the book Antique Rugs of Kurdistan A Historical Legacy of Woven Art, James D. Burns, 2002 nr.2. This was an exclusive example of a Mina Khani lattice design mid-19th century rug from Koliya'i, Southern Kurdistan area. The mina khani is composed of a series of rows of aster flowers surrounded by circular tendrils, vines, and other flowers; it's used in many areas of southern and eastern Kurdistan and is among the most popular of all Kurdish patterns. The lattice appears to continue into infinity - as though we can see the section that is framed by the border. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and the most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this rug.
