Kordi Ghotschan Rugs

Kordi Ghotschan (Kurdish Quchan) rugs are woven by Kurdish communities settled in the Quchan (Ghuchan) district of North Khorasan province, Kurdish tribes who were relocated to this northeastern region centuries ago and maintained their weaving traditions in their new home. The result is a fascinating fusion: Kurdish tribal design vocabulary expressed through the wider Khorasan color tradition.

These are robust, firmly woven rugs with symmetrical knotting on a wool foundation. The designs reflect Kurdish geometric traditions, bold medallions, angular borders, stylized flora, but with the warm earthy tones of Khorasan rather than the intense palette of western Kurdistan. A unique hybrid piece from one of Iran's most culturally layered weaving regions.
