North West Persia, early 20th century Heriz runner with three scarcer "Lenkoran Crab" motifs dominating the central navy blue/black field.

Has soft terracotta/apricot and salmon pink colours with a more unusual light pea green to two of the background crabs and middle border. With Waring & Gillow label to reverse. Has been copiously hand bath washed and de-dusted, last images. Plenty of images to peruse. Good overall even pile throughout. Minor fringes, side cords good. Overall a super antique furnishing runner. Lustrous wool pile hand knotted onto cotton foundations. Weighs 11.4KG. U.K Post £25.
