Description
:: Single column geometric palmettes with interior germinating plant blossom cross-view. Unusually wide banded and multi-tiered outer borders, several in serrated serpent-like rendering. Meandering vine blossom design relief with the main border and the most unique end being early style reciprocating dragon design motifs, partially reminiscent of a more sophisticated pawn rendering, although executed in perfect balance of floral tendrils and arabesques. Neutral spacing therein lending uncertainty to any dominant ground or design presence creating almost an illusion of what is the presence or the absence of design. Colors and shades include: Navy blue, charcoal black, madder root red, brick red, emerald green, dusty blush, mallard green, saffron yellow, and more. Condition notes: Areas of pile, knot heads and foundation. Most of the original side cord selvages are intact or restored. Fully secured sides and ends. Localized expert restoration in addition to both ends rewoven on the outer stripe borders. One two foot by one foot localized area of discoloration on the reverse which does not show through to the face of the rug. Recently professionally cleaned ready for in-home use! Many years of enjoyment to come with this hand knotted Caucasian Shirvan rug runner made in the Caucasus region circa 1870's vintage. Size measures 3'9" x 12'3".
