About the Item

This antique Persian Azerbaijan runner, woven circa 1870–1890, is a late 19th-century corridor piece hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation. Measuring approximately 3 ft x 9 ft (about 0.91 × 2.74 m), it falls into the corridor runner size class, ideal for narrow architectural passages. The rug is lightweight yet substantial for its format, reflecting workshop and village traditions of the Azerbaijan region during this period. Its production era, materials, and structure place it firmly within collectible antique Persian textiles. The design is an allover floral composition without a central medallion, emphasizing continuity along the runner’s length. Stylized palmettes, leafy sprays, scrolling vines, and rosette forms interlock densely across the field, creating a richly patterned surface with minimal negative space. A multi-border frame—with a defined main border and guard stripes—provides structure and visual containment. The palette is restrained and earthy: deep chocolate and chestnut browns dominate the field, balanced by parchment beige, taupe, and soft sand tones. Subtle abrash across browns and lighter borders adds depth and age character. Construction is hand-knotted with asymmetrical (Persian) knots, estimated at 100–150 KPSI, producing crisp yet slightly softened drawing typical of the region. The low cut pile (approx. 4 mm) offers durability and clarity of pattern, while wool fibers provide natural resilience and moth resistance. The handle is flexible but stable, performing well in moderate-traffic linear spaces when paired with a thin felt or felt-rubber pad. For professional interiors, this runner works as a quietly authoritative foundation in hallways, libraries, entries, and studies. Its neutral brown-and-beige palette integrates easily with wood, stone, leather, and muted contemporary finishes, while the antique status supports long-term value retention. The elongated scale visually guides circulation without overpowering surrounding furnishings. Condition is consistent with a well-preserved antique. Rated Wear Grade A, the rug shows no noted repairs, stains, odors, or moth damage. Ends are cleanly flatwoven and sewn down with no projecting fringe, and selvedges remain intact and original. Color variation is consistent with age and abrash rather than wear. Professional cleaning with dye testing and low-moisture methods is recommended to preserve older wool and natural dyes.
