Object Description
Antique Karabagh Gallery Carpet, c. 1900
5.90 x 2.26 m
Antique Karabagh rugs are much sought after by collectors and designers as they boast some of the oldest and most varied designs of all Caucasian weavings, and represent perhaps the finest in quality and artistry amongst pieces from this region.
This early Karabagh long carpet has a simple monochrome drawing and a muted grey-black field, providing a charming backdrop to the variety of gracefully aged vegetable-dyed colours in the design, framed by a wide, creatively drawn border. Thanks to its high-quality, tight weave, its drawing boasts a crisp clarity.
This antique Karabagh long carpet is in excellent condition, still retaining its original fringes at both ends, and with all its outer borders intact.
Rare in this large format, a timeless classic to suit a wide variety of settings.
