This astonishing Talish art runner is a superbly harmonious, highly individual example from this rarely encountered Caucasian weaving subgroup. Its elongated rectangular reserve displays a particularly thrilling exposition of the classic open field design, transforming the aesthetic impact of this characteristic visual program via astonishing rare teal to aquamarine hues. The dexterous abrash applied to this zone creates an incredible sense of both depth and ascending movement, guiding the eye gradually upward. In the potent border suite, each motif is drawn spaciously and with crisp clarity, adding to the notable cohesion of this elemental 19th century tribal rug’s extremely evocative jewel tone palette.
