A compact Caucasian runner defined by a row of octagonal medallions, small compartmentalised panels and serrated guard borders. The wool field reads warm neutral with brown and gold accents, the palette softened by subtle abrash and time. Low overall distress preserves a tactile surface and crisp geometry while the ends show gentle wear and short fringe. This antique rug reads like a study in disciplined pattern and quiet colour, an object of lived-in craft and enduring presence. Circa 1880 - 1900. Dimensions: 3' 3" x 6' 1". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
