Woven in the early 20th century in the southern stretch of the Caucasus, this antique Karabagh runner carries the distinct charm of its homeland, where weavers favored floral fantasies over geometry. Known for their lush, painterly designs, Karabagh rugs often echo European textiles, but with the soul of mountain craft.
This runner features a lot of amazing characteristics and beauty, where large-scale floral motifs bloom in a loose lattice design. A dainty little border ties it all together like a ribbon on a bouquet. Look closely and you’ll notice the moody abrash, shifts in color that roll through the rug like dusk creeping across the hills. That’s the magic of natural dyes meeting handmade rhythm.
Measuring somewhere between 3’4 and 3’9 in width (depending where you put the tape measure), it’s got that lovely imperfect personality only a handwoven piece can offer. Solidly built and uncommonly pretty, this fantastic runner hums with life and has a solid and very sturdy construction. A rare beauty with the strength to stand up to a well-trodden hallway and the grace to dress it up.
