A tried and true relic with soul, this antique Caucasian runner hums with the quiet power of tradition. Three bold, medallion-like motifs anchor the piece, each one adorned with stylized eye motifs, an age-old symbol said to deflect harm, staring back at misfortune with knowing calm. Stylized Ram’s horns pop up within the design, twisting symbols of strength and fortitude, all set atop a delicate peach-toned lattice that softens their might.
Framing the main field is a lively procession of bird and beast motifs, stitched into a French blue ground with the flair of folklore. Along the wheat-hued border, scorpion motifs scuttle, not for menace, but for protection, honoring the rug’s origins in a region where such creatures skitter about freely.
Woven by hand with vegetable dyed wool, the colors have mellowed into a dreamy hush. The low pile, softened by time, carries scattered wear (please see pics for full character and condition), each mark a nod to its long, wandering life.
