(High-Decorative) What we may use to enliven a short passageway, this turn-of-the-20th-century weaver obviously saw as the opportunity to create a masterful artistic expression. This energetic Northwest Azerbaijani village runner offers a striking quintuplet of medallions, illuminating your path like glowing step-stones. They rest upon a radiant strawberry red field accompanied by waves of blooming springtime meadow blossoms known to the West as the mille fleur pattern. Gentle color shifts throughout this background brings movement and depth to the reserve and amplifies the interplay between the sprig and flower motifs and kinetic border zones of the hexagonal platforms. A painter’s palette of additional saturated hues of teal, royal blue, burnished gold, and burgundy add to the chorus of color and testify to the great depth of knowledge accumulated over the generations by the master color brewers. This extremely durable standout still offers heavier pile condition heralding many years of floor use, and is destined to be a personal treasure for its next owner.
