This navy antique Caucasian runner hails from the tribal weavers of the Caucasus mountains, north of Persia, and dates to around 1900. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, it carries that deep, inky blue ground with the kind of abrash that could be stared at all day…those subtle shifts in color tones that only a change in natural dye lots can create.
Look closely and you’ll spot the animal elements tucked throughout…little guardians inspired by the weavers’ rugged surroundings and daily life. Geometric medallions with tribal motifs march down the center like a rhythmic drumbeat, framed by a spicy border that pops in all the right ways.
Low pile and worn in the best way, this piece has lived. The sides and ends are fully secured, it’s clean and floor ready, and while there’s age related wear, it’s holding strong and looking great. These mountain rugs were built with grit. This beauty’s got stories in her wool and character in every inch…ready to bring history, soul, and a whole lot of personality to her next home.
