Brown Antique Tribal Geometric Caucasian Karabagh Long and Narrow Carpet

$11,400.00

This rare late nineteenth-century Caucasian Karabagh runner is a striking testament to the "high-altitude" weaving traditions of the southern Caucasus. Historically, Karabagh—meaning "Black Garden"—produced some of the most artistically diverse textiles in the region, bridging the gap between the nomadic, geometric power of the northern tribes and the floral sophistication of neighboring Persia. This specific specimen is defined by its deep "tobacco brown" field, a color of significant rarity and prestige achieved through the use of undyed natural wool or complex mineral-based dyes, which provides a moody, grounded backdrop for its vibrant tribal narrative. The composition features a rhythmic, vertical succession of bold geometric medallions, a format characteristic of the Kenareh (long and narrow runner).
