About the Item
19th century Russian Karabagh handmade wool rug
Size: 6'6" × 19'4" (198 × 589 cm)
This magnificent antique Karabagh rug is a distinguished example of Caucasian textile artistry, blending the rustic charm of regional folk weaving with the refined elegance of 19th-century design. Woven in the Karabagh region of the Russian Caucasus, the rug boasts a lush, saturated palette dominated by deep espresso brown, complemented by accents of ochre, rust, ivory, soft pink, slate blue, and pistachio green.
The field presents a highly stylized floral lattice, composed of rows of boteh-inspired and palmette motifs arranged diagonally across the surface, each form bearing delicate floral appendages. These scrolling, organically shaped elements evoke a dreamlike, painterly rhythm, punctuated by a subtly shifting gradient of colors—a hallmark of antique vegetal dye techniques.
Encasing the field is a sumptuous border suite featuring successive bands: a central meander with blooming rosettes and angular leafy vines, framed by slender guard stripes with elegant, abstract tulip repeats. The interplay between the intricate floral detail and the negative space gives this piece a striking sense of movement and spaciousness despite its elongated format.
Hand-knotted in lustrous wool, this Karabagh rug exhibits an unusually high level of craftsmanship, with a firm yet pliant handle and an even, dense pile that reflects light softly—enhancing the rug’s rich coloration. The vegetal dyes have matured beautifully, giving the rug a mellowed, antique patina while retaining its bold contrasts and overall vibrancy.
Ideal as a statement piece for a hallway, gallery, or grand salon, this antique Karabagh runner transcends decorative function. It embodies the cultural intersection of Persian-inspired motifs and Eastern European artistic sensibilities—making it not just a furnishing, but a historic textile with deep regional significance.
Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
