Made with hand-knotted wool circa 1880, this 4x16 Antique Karabagh runner rug from Russia is a particularly special piece, featuring a light and refreshing mid-century classical floral design—an exciting new curation from Rug & Kilim’s rare classics. On the Design: Rich black underscores of all over florals with light pink, red, green and cream tones—a refreshing and fabulous play of traditional Oriental rug design and a modern air that has vast applications. Admirers of the craft may note that both the color and pattern look to be inspired by Bessarabian rugs and Kilims, evoking their particularly rustic approach to the French Neoclassical aesthetic that would yield so many gorgeous country rugs like this piece. Each medallion reveals delicate botanical motifs rendered in varying shades of rose and coral, their designs achieving remarkable clarity despite the piece's age. Keen eyes for detail may appreciate this unexpected way to approach a traditional design, with its unique classic look, detail, movement, and phenomenal range of colors in kind. Condition: This Antique Karabagh extra-long runner rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
