A Caucasian wool runner, 97 x 188 cm, composed of staggered lozenges filled with small medallions and enclosed by a wide, angular hooked border. The colour range sits in softened neutrals with warm brown and worn red, traces of navy and green mellowing with time. Surface wear is low and the field remains legible, the pile gently abraded to a tactile patina that emphasises the rug’s craft. Borders preserve their rhythmic geometry and the ends show careful finishing, maintaining the piece’s original clarity. This antique rug conveys a composed, historic presence. Circa 1880 - 1900
