Karabagh runner

Woven in the South Caucasus, this happy long rug paints rows of large botehs or paisleys across a deep indigo field. The large scale of the design allows for individualization of each element. Framing the field is a very pleasing floral main border with rotating blossoms and leaves derived from older Northwest Persian models. Spacing is generous and color is pleasing with an especially noteworthy range of greens. A distinctive combination of gold, indigo and cochineal is used in keeping with traditions of the Karabagh region.
