Vintage Karabagh No. 17

2’4 x 11’2 | Circa 1940–1960 | Hand-Knotted Wool

A striking mid-century Karabagh runner woven in the Caucasus mountains, where bold artistry meets timeless craftsmanship. The deep chocolate field is alive with luminous crimson and indigo medallions — radiant sunbursts that seem to glow against the dark wool ground. Soft abrash shifts across the surface, revealing its hand-dyed character and the quiet story of its maker.

Ivory corner spandrels frame the design in warmth, while the narrow floral border adds rhythmic detail. The palette, a harmony of cocoa, carmine, rose, and sapphire, brings both richness and restraint

Hand-knotted in wool between the 1940s and 1960s, this runner embodies the soul of the Karabagh region: dramatic, enduring, and entirely one of a kind. A true heirloom piece that grounds a hallway or gallery space with old-world depth and modern sensibility.
