Is this real? A unique pair of antique Kurdish kilim runners with ancient fertility symbolism.
The dye materials are outstanding especially the apricot. The fact that it’s a pair of runner kilims is quite special too. However nothing beats the sequence of clearly drawn ladies with their wombs showing within. It’s fascinating to note that the only other thing along them are stars indicating that woman, indeed, is the essence of the universe and source of all life ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️
“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
