Description

Beautiful rare late 19th century Caucasian Karabagh long runner, meticulously hand-knotted circa the late 1800s. Runners from the Karabagh region of the Caucasus are exceptionally rare and highly desirable, making this piece a true collector's gem.

The captivating design of this Karabagh runner consists of a striking series of seven large, interconnected diamond shapes, beautifully linked by smaller diamond forms. This intricate geometric arrangement unfolds across a field of rich brick color, creating a warm and inviting foundation.

The border frames the main design with its own vibrant composition of smaller geometric shapes, rendered in a brilliant palette of bright red, serene blue, verdant green, and sunny yellow. This harmonious interplay of colors throughout the rug often draws comparisons to the expressive and luminous qualities found in French Impressionist paintings of the 1800s, a testament to the weavers' intuitive understanding of color and form.

Adding to its remarkable provenance, this rug bears a woven date of 1313 (Islamic calendar), which precisely corresponds to 1895 AD, offering an exact historical marker for this antique masterpiece.
