Antique Caucasian Runner Size: 3'7" × 9'6" Date: 1910s Material: Wool on Wool From the village weaving tradition of the south Caucasus, this runner carries the bold, all-over floral character associated with the Karabagh region — an area known for adapting Persian floral motifs into a distinctly angular, tribal visual language. The deep navy field is filled end to end with large stylized botanical forms — oversized palmettes, serrated leaves, and angular flower heads in burnt orange, gold, and red that stack vertically up the length of the runner. The design has no medallion and no open ground; every inch of the navy field is occupied, giving the piece a dense, rich quality that reads well from a distance. The wide border on both sides carries a repeating geometric floral motif in red and gold on a dark ground, detailed enough to complement rather than compete with the field. The colour combination of navy, burnt orange, and warm gold is particularly effective in this format — dark enough to be practical, warm enough to work in most interiors. The wool has aged well with good pile remaining throughout.
