This lovely vintage Caucasian Shirvan wool rug is celebrated for its intricate detail, fine weave, and harmonious palette of earthy tones. The field is densely filled with an allover lattice of stylised floral rosettes and geometric lozenges, woven in alternating bands of camel, ivory, and indigo. These motifs create a hypnotic rhythm, demonstrating the weaver's mastery of miniature design.
Surrounding the field is a dynamic border system. The main border features jagged, flame-like motifs in navy, golden ochre, and cream, a common design element in Shirvan rugs symbolising energy or protection. This is framed by narrow guard stripes with serrated lines and zigzag detailing, enhancing the structure and visual balance of the composition.
Woven from soft, hand-spun wool and dyed with natural pigments, the rug exudes a gentle patina that speaks to its age and authenticity. Its warm camel and sandy hues, paired with indigo accents, make it an ideal piece for understated, elegant interiors seeking tribal charm with refined details.
Authentic vintage and antique Caucasian rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.

Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.
