About the Item

Woven circa 1900, this early 20th-century Persian Karabakh runner is a lyrical example of the region’s romantic, floral aesthetic. The central field is an utter delight—an airy pale green trellis meanders across the length, entwined with stylized blossoms rendered in soft abrash pinks and vibrant raspberry wool. The border is classically Karabakh, composed of three distinct floral bands, each with its own rhythm and palette—indigo, crimson, pale yellow, white, pink, and brown wool all working in elegant concert. Karabakh rugs hail from the mountainous region along the modern-day border of Iran and the South Caucasus. These pieces are traditionally woven by Armenian and Azerbaijani artisans, known for their refined color sensibility and deep connection to regional floral motifs. Long prized for their elegance and character, Karabakh runners like this one add a painterly, almost antique textile quality to a hallway or staircase—a quiet flourish that speaks volumes.
