GENDJE RUNNER
Southern Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) Entirely folkloric in design yet exquisitely crafted, this extremely well-preserved, seldom-found Caucasian Gendje runner that possesses an enduring aesthetic appeal, as magnetic today as it was well over a century ago. The tetrad of grand-scale dodecagon lozenge medallions is rendered with individualistic nuances of color and ornament. Masterfully dyed hues, such as rare emerald green and burnished gold, greatly enhance a navy blue field, filled to capacity with countless energetic semiotic tribal devices that seem to leap off of the ‘canvas.’ Occupying the inner perimeter are numerous ordered sun wheels that provide the opportunity for continual variation, further demonstrating the creativity of its folk art weavers. Offering a vivid expression of the nomadic weaver's unabashed exuberant spirit and great artistic innovation, this winning piece would bring great joie de vivre to any passageway.
