1.5x2 Antique Bagface Kurdish Square Rug Mat showing large palmette and germinating plant motifs in navy, rust, charcoal brown, and ivory

Small scale, big quiet

A square burst of navy, rust, and soft teal—aged edges that tell their own calm story.

Found rhythm

The little rug that gathers a room

Singular palmette, singular presence

Corners of the home can feel unfinished—by the door, beside a chair, at the foot of a shelf. The 1.5x2 Antique Bagface Kurdish Square Rug Mat lands with intent, adding pattern and age without noise. Its worn-to-the-knot surface carries history that softens sharp lines and new finishes.

A hush of color

At just 1'8" x 2', this circa 1890s hand-knotted Persian Kurdish piece changes how a small space is used—an invitation to pause, to slip off shoes, to set down a bag. The oversized palmette and small border rosettes anchor movement like a punctuation mark on wood or stone. Clean and ready to live with, it brings character you can see and feel every day.

For the collector of lived-in beauty

Someone who wants a true vintage accent with scale for thresholds, bedside moments, or layered vignettes.

Where it lands

Set it at an entry, tuck it under a plant stand, or layer it atop a larger flatweave to spotlight the square motif.
