About the Item
Antique Karabagh Runner Rug (size adjusted)
Size: 2'9" × 19'7" (83 × 596 cm)
Steeped in the opulent traditions of the Caucasus, this antique Karabagh runner (size adjusted) from circa 1880 is a masterclass in romantic botanical design and refined color harmony. Woven in the Karabagh region of southern Russia, this runner exemplifies the influence of French Aubusson and Savonnerie styles, beautifully translated into the bold language of Caucasian craftsmanship.
The rug's elegant black field is an ornate canvas of sprawling scrolling vines, oversized lotus palmettes, and lush floral sprays in a soft, painterly palette. Cream, blush, rosewood, butter yellow, celadon, and muted greens intertwine across the surface, evoking a timeless garden scene with remarkable dimensionality and movement. The rich contrast between the earthy beige outlines and the dark chocolate ground adds visual depth and drama, making each floral element pop.
Framing this botanical splendor is a unique border design—reminiscent of classical architectural moldings—with vertical linear motifs in warm caramel and ivory tones. This unexpected detail gives the rug a tailored finish, balancing its otherwise lyrical and flowing composition.
Hand-knotted with high-quality wool, the rug offers not just visual richness but also exceptional durability. Its narrow dimensions make it an ideal choice for hallways, galleries, or transitional spaces in both traditional and eclectic interiors.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
