Description

Impressive vintage Lenkoran Caucasian motif runner in excellent condition.

Colors include ivory, black, red, and green. This is a very thick and solid carpet.

Decorated with black, red, and green birds– some with double heads — and numerous geometric icons. Stylized ram’s heads with horns are visible along side the more common birds. The  double-headed birds may be inspired by the Russian double-headed imperial eagle.

Minimal signs of wear on the wool pile. A few small spots that are difficult to see and minimal color shift in the ivory white. Great condition for a vintage rug.

The fringes and side cords are in excellent shape.

Natural wool on cotton warp. 1970s.

Exact size is 10 ft. 7 in. by 4 ft.

The runner can be used in a high foot traffic area of the home. Last photo with Morgan silver dollar shows the backside of carpet.

Lenkoran (also spelled Lankaran, Lenkeran, Lencoran ) is located on the Caspian on the southeast corner of Azerbaijan. The Lenkoran rug characteristically has a series of “tortoise” figures, represented as repeating medallions down the center of the carpet. The ground or field color is usually dark.

A mesmerizing tribal textile from the traditional Shirvan Caucasian rug producing region near the borders of other enchanting rug weaving nations. This rug was woven in the Azerbaijan Province in Iran.

The design is one of the most important and sought after of the tribal rug motifs.

Shipping is $43 within the continental U.S. Or free pickup in Tucson.
