715. A scintilating antique Karabagh Caucasian rug

715. Provenance: Karabagh (or Genje?), The Caucasus

Size: 296 x 130 cm

Age: Circa 1910

Condition: Good for age.

Notes: Vivid, resplendent natural dyestuffs lift this piece out of the ordinary and command ones attention. As is typical of many Caucasians of this age, this is a relatively long rug and could almost be clasified as a runner. I haven't done so however, as the feel is very much that of a rug, and it is somewhat too wide to be a runner.
