Vivid natural dyes of green, blue and biscuit, gold tones on a deep red background, this Heriz runner is an interesting and beautifully woven piece. It has been reduced in width, with a border or two missing, making it a hard to find narrow size! The missing borders probably were damaged at some point in its life, hence being removed. The lovely blue minor border is a great framing colour to the brick red tones, and the whole runner works very well with just this one minor border.
We supply excellent rug underlay that would add durability and stop this antique runner from moving on a wooden, tiled or carpeted floor.
Reserve this antique runner and arrange either a home viewing or to see it at our barn showroom.

Heriz and Karaja are not far from the Azerbaijan Border so they draw influences from many Caucasian rugs and runners. They are easily recognisable with repeating medallions similar to those in caucasian rugs. The central motif is often the latch-hooked design motif or an eight-pointed star. The village weavings of Karaja such as this runner often use a simpler repeating medallion design with a great array of colour.
