What is a Persian Kolyaee Carpet?

Twelve hours driving west of the Capital City of Tehran in a very rugged and mountainous area is the Capital of Kurdistan, the beautiful city of San-nan-daj. The locals are mostly Persian Kurds who live in and around the City of San-nan-daj. Kurdistan and the City of San-nan-daj is known worldwide for the magnificent and unique Senneh rugs and Kleims which are very rare and hard to find.

A 4X6 feet Persian Senneh made in early 1920’s if found in mint condition would be worth as much as $6000.00 in the Rug boutiques of Tehran and even more in Europe.

However, being and artist and designer, I personally love the Kurdish Kolyaee carpets which are usually much larger and mostly are woven in narrow and longer sizes, like 5X10 feet or 4.5X11. The Kurds used to weave these exotic carpets to be used in their own homes, mostly with exotic geometric patterns and rich dark colors.

Occasionally the locals trade their rugs for other merchandise and very few amongst these trade-ins would qualify for our high standards of quality and selectivity.

It is not easy to find 50 to 60 years old Persian Kolyaee rugs in mint condition throughout like you find on this site.

Like Kurdish Senneh rugs these Kurdish Kolayee carpets are specially unique not only for their size and design but also the fact that there are not very many around in excellent condition.

As an expert and certified appraiser of Persian rugs we love the originality, quality, design and colors of these rare exotic Persian Kurdish Kolyaee Carpets. Every rug we have acquired has been sent to our facility where they are thoroughly cleaned and properly washed, sheared and worked on to make sure that they are in excellent condition and show their true quality and colors.

Should you choose to buy one or more, I assure you that a few years from now it would be almost impossible to find these rugs even in Kurdistan and that is what distinguishes a True Persian carpet for all other rugs woven in commercialized rug factories of many other countries such as India, Pakistan, China or Nepal.
