This charming antique Caucasian Shirvan wool rug is distinguished by its striking geometric design and saturated natural dyes. The rug features a central column of three diamond medallions, each intricately stepped and nested within one another in a bold red and midnight blue palette. These medallions are framed within a vivid indigo field, creating dramatic visual contrast and depth.
Small rosette motifs and symbolic elements are scattered within the field, offering a sense of balance and tribal charm. The stepped edges of the medallions, a hallmark of Shirvan weaving, enhance the angular dynamism of the composition.
The borders are rich and layered: the main border displays stylised floral and bird-like motifs in alternating hues of gold, ivory, red, and cobalt on a blue ground, flanked by multiple guard stripes filled with delicate vine and rosette patterns. A charming light blue band at the outer edge adds a folkloric touch, featuring animal and tree-like symbols that evoke themes of life and nature.
Woven from highland wool with exceptional craftsmanship, this rug is a fine example of Shirvan artistry, refined, rhythmic, and expressive, making it ideal for collectors or those seeking authentic tribal elegance.
