Antique Caucasian Hallway Runner Wool Ivory Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1890s. This piece is a superb example of late 19th-century weaving tradition, characterized by its durable wool construction and vibrant, natural dyes. It is a highly desirable example among antique rugs.

The central field employs a striking diamond lattice set against a luminous, pale ground. This use of an ivory color rugs field provides a brilliant contrast to the dense, geometric motifs—which appear to be highly stylized birds and flowering plants rendered in deep indigo, madder red, and earthy greens.

The complex, repeating design is a hallmark of the region, showcasing the robust, tribal aesthetic inherent in Caucasian weaving. The structure is tight and finely knotted, demonstrating the technical skill of the weavers who utilized traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Designed specifically for transitional spaces, this long, narrow format makes it an exceptional choice among hallway runner rugs. Its strong, saturated borders, featuring repeating medallions and sawtooth patterns, frame the central design beautifully, ensuring that this piece remains a powerful statement of enduring quality and history from the Caucasian rugs tradition.
