About the Item
Hand-knotted in high-quality wool and originating from the South Caucasus circa 1880–1890, this extra-long antique rug of Karabagh provenance is a rich and unique piece, representing the height of late 19th-century weaving. In an exceptionally rare 4x18 size, this majestic runner stands as a survivor of a grander era, offering an architectural scale and saturated beauty seldom seen in historic corridor coverings.
On the Design:
This magnificent antique Karabagh rug is a meticulous artifact—a poem woven in wool that chronicles a history told in saturated colors and intricate botanical forms. The extra-long field features a base of deep charcoal-indigo, which at first glance appears as a celestial midnight but reveals a complex, multi-tonal depth that provides a dramatic backdrop for a mesmeric, endless constellation of patterns.
While the layout is anchored by geometric diamond-shaped medallions, the soul of the rug is undeniably floral. Each medallion and the surrounding field are teeming with highly stylized blossoms, rosettes, and scrolling palmettes. This creates a deep harmony in the design, where the discipline of tribal structure yields to the fluid, imperial grace of a lush, "eternal garden" influenced by classic Persian aesthetics. The extra-long field is interspersed with these floral "jewels" in hues of brick red, sapphire, cream, and gold, creating a dimensionality that draws the eye into the rhythmic, botanical depths of the weave. The composition is framed by a rich, multi-layered enclosure—a gallery of repeating geometric blossoms that bind the vibrant heart of the piece in stately symmetry. Given its rare, extra-long dimensions, this runner was likely a bespoke commission for a palatial corridor, making it an invaluable document of 19th-century interior design.
Condition:
This antique Karabagh Persian runner rug enjoys good condition, and is a gorgeous collectible of vast design applications.
