ANTIQUE CAUCASIAN KARABAGH DATED HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUNNER, 3' 1'' x 10' 3'': This striking antique Caucasian rug has an interesting design of diagonal bands of round-bodied botehs, or paisleys with spots of other colors within each one. They rest on a medium blue field and are in colors of pale yellow, red, aqua, beige, and brown. The serrated leaf and wine glass motif of the main border are done in the same colors but on a white ground. Best of all, this rug has an inscription and is dated 1883. This makes this rug a true collector's dream. It would be a good addition to any collection.
CONDITION: Wear that is not unusual for a rug of this age.
