SHIRVAN RUNNER
2' 11" x 10' 9" (89 x 328cm) Circa 1875
(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This riveting Caucasian Shirvan runner exemplifies an astonishing clarity and takes expert advantage of the potential offered by its elongated dimensions. A festive color palette combined with chiseled drawing brightens every motif to create a vibrant work of stunning beauty. Although the field designs are botanical, tribal weavers loved to geometricize the flowers into elemental forms. Pairs of repeating serrated "ashik" emblems have roots in the Bronze Age. This fascinating, richly-hued display is further augmented by the constant ultra-fine abrash striation of the background. Distinctively novel forms in the coffee-based main border are incredibly mesmerizing. When accompanied by the precisely interlocking inner band, the sense of movement is magical. Runners of such narrow dimensions are difficult to come by, making this piece sure to attract intense interest for the transformative effect it will have within a passageway.
