19th C. Northeast Caucasian Runner - 3’6” x 9’2”
#2516 NE Caucasian Runner
3’-6” x 9’-2”
AGE & ORIGIN:
Late 19th C.
Caucuses
OVERVIEW:
While the Caucasian origin of this runner is not in question, the design of much of the field, including the prominent six main medallions may give the viewer pause, as these hold their origin in Anatolia, with their striking curvilinear forms seldom seen in rugs from the Caucuses. These medallions display a dazzling array of kaleidoscopic pastels all set against a dark navy field.
While most of the rugs dyes are vegetal, of significant note is the use of a fugitive fuchsine dye seen in some of the smaller motifs dotted in the negative spaces of the rug.
CONDITION:
Both original selvedges have been replaced and one very old repair, otherwise excellent condition with even high pile
