About the Item
Technical Overview
This antique Persian Azerbaijan gallery runner dates to the late 19th century, circa 1870–1890, and originates from the Azarbaijan weaving regions of northwestern Iran, known for robust tribal carpets with expressive geometry. Woven in a long gallery-runner format, it measures approximately 4 ft 0 in x 16 ft 9 in (about 122 x 511 cm), making it well suited for elongated architectural spaces. The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation and remains a one-of-a-kind antique with strong tribal integrity and durable construction.
Design Analysis
The composition is organized around a repeating medallion layout, featuring chained octagonal medallions aligned along the length of the runner. These medallions are articulated with latch-hook outlines and angular vine scrolls, supported by floral and leaf filler motifs that create a structured yet lively rhythm. A single wide main border, flanked by narrow guard stripes, frames the field without overwhelming its length. The palette is anchored by a deep navy blue ground, contrasted by a warm terracotta-rust border and accents of parchment beige, dusty cornflower blue, brick red, and antique gold. Visible abrash in the navy field and border areas adds depth and authentic age character.
Weave and Performance
Knotted with symmetrical (Turkish) knots at an estimated density of 100–150 KPSI, the runner offers a sturdy, resilient structure typical of Azerbaijan tribal weaving. The medium pile height of approximately 6 mm provides durability underfoot while maintaining crisp pattern definition. A woven cotton foundation and intact selvedges support long-term use, making the rug suitable for hallways, galleries, entryways, and circulation zones with low to moderate traffic.
Professional Application
This runner is an excellent choice for traditional, eclectic, or collected interiors that benefit from strong linear pattern and saturated color contrast. Its elongated proportions visually guide movement through corridors and galleries, while the navy and rust palette pairs naturally with wood floors, stone, and neutral walls. High prestige and rarity further support its use in designer projects with long-term value considerations.
Condition
Care
The rug is in excellent antique condition, with even wear consistent with age and no visible repairs, stains, odor, or moth damage. Fringes, selvedges, and ends appear original, intact, and well maintained, showing only minor irregularities typical of handwoven antiques. Professional cleaning is recommended, with dye testing prior to wet cleaning and avoidance of strong alkaline agents, in accordance with 1stDibs standards for fine antique rugs.
