Antique Caucasian Runner, Terracotta and Indigo, Geometric Lozenge Design, Early 20th Century. 10 feet long

A long antique Caucasian runner, hand-knotted in wool, with a terracotta field densely patterned with lozenges, stepped hooked motifs and small palmette forms. Olive-green diamonds punctuate the centre, and a wide indigo border with a rosette meander frames the field. The colours are warm and softly faded, and it will suit a hallway or long landing. Wear is consistent with age: low pile in places, some fading, and fraying to the edges and fringe.
