Hallway Runner Rugs (4.09ft x 17ft), Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of the Caucasian rugs weaving tradition presents a powerful aesthetic rooted in tribal geometry and bold, natural dyes. The construction, utilizing a combination of knotted pile and flatweave techniques, speaks to the versatile craftsmanship inherent to the region's nomadic groups. The deep, saturated indigo field provides a dramatic backdrop for the stylized, serrated motifs rendered in rich terracotta and crimson. This striking use of contrast is characteristic of nomadic weaving, elevating the piece beyond simple utility. Collectors seeking sophisticated blue color rugs will appreciate the depth of the dye work achieved in this late 19th-century textile.
