19th century

Sold by Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs

Description

This handsome wool runner was probably woven by Shahsavan tribal weavers in the Azerbaijan region of North-West Persia in the last quarter of the 19th century. It has cotton warps with a mixture of cotton and wool wefts which is often an indication of the transition phase from a purely nomadic weaving environment to a village environment. Nevertheless, it retains a strong tribal character. A row of archaically drawn geometric medallions on a beautiful sapphire field are framed by three narrow stylised floral borders in ivory, terracotta and light blue. Note the birds surrounding the ivory and bottom green medallions. It is a striking composition which feels both archaic and elegant at the same time. In excellent condition with good even pile throughout. Original selvages and ends are intact.
