A Floral Design Magnificent Primitive Antique Caucasian Karabagh Brown Runner Rug , The Rug’s Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Woven Date: 1900 – Beautifully crafted, this long hallway runner rug displays white, purple, pink and orange cascading floral clusters in a repeating pattern set against a dark brown field. A narrow pink border carrying white ruyi scrolling symbols frames this rug. The Karabagh (or “Gharabagh” or “Karabakh”) region lies in the Caucasus highlands in eastern Armenia and western Azerbaijan, and over the centuries has often reflected Persian, Turkish and Russian cultural influences. These rugs traditionally maintained a high, very deep pile that rendered them extremely soft and durable.
