Antique Karabagh rug, late nineteenth century - A pattern of scalloped and star medallions and exotic birds repeats across the field of this extraordinary antique Karabagh runner. These forms are enclosed by a still larger crenelated light pistachio green medallion against a surrounding apricot field. The system of finely wrought multiple borders contrasts effectively with the larger, more open field pattern, while still echoing its precise drawing and animated geometry.
