387. A heart-lifting antique Caucasian Runner

387. Provenance: Shirvan (?), possibly Kuba, The Caucasus

 

Size: 293 x 140 cm

 

Age: Circa 1910

 

Condition: Very good. Where the design does not quite match up, is part of the weaving, not a repair.

 

Notes: A rug that lifts the heart with it's joyful colouring. Why not wake up to it every morning. A wonderful lattice-work design containing small 'botehs'. Very attractive and unusual borders. Excellent hand-spun wool.
