Ref: 4589
Stunning antique Karabagh runner from the late 19th Century in excellent condition. Finely woven with bold leaves in the border and repeating medallions found in rugs from Heriz and Bakshaish. There is some corrosion to the brown and black dyes as this dye had traces of metal in them which corrodes and adds to the character of this lovely runner. Karabagh and Heriz are small towns situated in the North West of Iran, about 112KM northeast of Tabriz.
Heriz rugs, runners and carpets are known for their geometric designs and grandeur, but have not always been this way. Early silk Heriz carpets dating back to the 18th Century have been shown to be extremely intricate and advanced in their knotting techniques and detailing, being in design and quality very similar to Tabriz carpets.
