Antique Karabakh Caucasian Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Circa 1920 Paisley Design BB7445 4'10" × 12'10" $22,000

This antique Karabakh rug, woven in the Caucasus circa 1920, presents an elongated format and a hand-knotted wool construction rooted in the region’s celebrated tribal tradition.

A deep navy field is packed with staggered floral-geometric blossoms, each rendered in warm tan, rust red, ivory, teal blue, and muted blue. The allover repeat keeps the composition in constant motion, giving the piece the lively, collected character for which Karabakh carpets are known.

Multiple borders tighten the design, from the narrow guard stripes to the broader band with small angular motifs and rosette details. The result is crisp at the edges yet richly layered, making this antique Caucasian rug especially suited to long circulation spaces, libraries, or interiors that benefit from pattern without a central medallion.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
