844. a rarified antique Caucasian runner

844. Provenance: The Caucasus

Size: 342 x 103 cm

Age: circa 1880

Condition: Pretty heavy wear in the field, some loss at one end, and a restitched cut.

Notes: Despite the wear this is a lovely piece with a great history. It's all natural dyes are subtle and complimentary. Self-assured and somewhat understated this represents the very best of turn-of-the-century tribal Caucasian weaving.
