This gorgeous antique Caucasian Shirvan wool rug is known for its bold geometric patterning and vibrant colour palette. The rug features a striking lattice layout of octagonal medallions, each containing stylised floral rosettes in shades of red, ivory, blue, and terracotta. These medallions are framed by a rich navy field, creating a dramatic contrast and emphasising the precision of the design.
The border is intricately woven with multiple layers: a main band of diagonal motifs flanked by smaller guard borders with stepped patterns and meandering lines—hallmarks of Shirvan weaving. The design reflects the tribal artistry of the eastern Caucasus, with symbolic elements that echo protection, fertility, and harmony.
Woven from high-quality wool and natural dyes, this rug exudes a timeless, tribal elegance and stands as a fine example of late 19th- to early 20th-century Caucasian craftsmanship. Its saturated tones and intricate symmetry make it a collector's piece, perfect for both traditional and contemporary settings.
Authentic vintage and antique Caucasian rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
