About the Item
Antique 1920s Karabagh Runner, Handwoven Caucasian Beauty
Size: 4'10" × 12'10" (147 × 391 cm)
A vivid celebration of Caucasian craftsmanship, this antique Karabagh runner from the 1920s embodies the bold spirit and intricate geometry characteristic of the South Caucasus weaving tradition. Handwoven in the mountainous Karabagh region, the rug presents a dynamic all-over pattern of stepped floral rosettes, arranged in a rhythmic diagonal grid that gives the design energy and structure.
Each rosette, crafted in earthy rusts, ivory, indigo, teal, and sand tones, radiates from a midnight-blue field, offering both contrast and cohesion. The palette, rich yet balanced, speaks to natural vegetable dyes and a refined eye for harmony in design.
A sequence of narrow and wide borders frame the composition, including a striking serrated leaf and wineglass motif rendered in multicolor diagonals—an emblematic Karabagh detail that adds a vibrant counterpoint to the more orderly field. Additional floral and diamond rosette bands emphasize the traditional geometry and tie the composition together.
Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
