Description

A stunning antique Shashavan runner with exquisite colours and a striped Gendje border design. These tribal weavers from the north-eastern Persia reside in the mountainous area.  This area was home to a smaller group of tribal weavers and these diverse weavings were based on vivid geometric designs usually with medallions repeating throughout such as this piece.  The Turkish memling gul is often found on these pieces too and we can see other Caucasian rug attributes too from these pieces which are full of rainbow colours!

Condition is extremely good, with soft wool on this tribal runner.

. . .

 Some small areas of old restoration, in general it is in great original condition.

Shashavan runners are sometimes known as Southern Caucasian rugs but maybe this is due to their close proximity to the Caucasus.  Historians claim the Shah Abbas Safavid (1587-1629) formed this tribe to defend western frontiers against Turkish tribes, hence how the Shah was used to form this nomad tribe.
