Item Description
Striking 19th Century Karabagh Runner
5.60 x 1.07 metres
Antique Karabagh rugs are much sought after by collectors and designers as they boast some of the oldest and most varied designs of all Caucasian weavings, and represent perhaps the finest in quality and artistry amongst pieces from this region.
This striking 19th Century example showcases an unusually modern design, with a monochrome, earthy palette, in fine vegetable dyes, and an unusual grand-scale drawing – the uniformity of colour across the field and border lends the work a rare feeling of openness and balance, and the abrash – that is, the subtle variation in tone – in the ground gives its stripped back, minimalist composition a sense of depth and character.
Retained in very good practical condition for everyday use, still preserving its original inner borders and fringes on all sides.
A timeless example to compliment a variety of spaces.
