A SEYCHOUR RUNNER EAST CAUCASUS, CIRCA 1870 Full pile throughout, naturally corroded black, a single minute repair to one end of the field, otherwise very good condition 9ft.9in. x 3ft.2in. (302cm. x 99cm.)
The depiction of highly stylised blossoms shows a European influence which began to infiltrate the Caucaus in the early part of the nineteenth century, (U. Schürmann, Caucasian Rugs, Munich, 1964, pl.117. pp.302-3). The deeply saturated sea-green field is lined with narrow channels formed through the corroded dark brown lattice that effectively accentuates the bi-tonal carnations and small ivory rosettes. The sophistication of design, near original pile and deeply saturated colour palette of the present rug are all very fine attributes.
