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.

Authentic vintage and antique Caucasian rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.

Pictures are taken in light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.

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.

Our rugs are professionally cleaned.
