About the Item

This elegant and finely woven Antique Shirvan Rug is a testament to the sophisticated weaving artistry of the East Caucasus, dating to the early 20th Century. Measuring 82 x 171 cm (approx. 2'8" x 5'7"), its narrow, elongated shape suggests its original use as a prayer rug or a delicate runner, perfect for a niche, entryway, or bedside. The composition features a dramatic, dark navy blue/indigo main field, which serves as a striking backdrop for three distinct, stacked medallions. The central motif is a highly detailed diamond (lozenge) shape in madder red, while the flanking medallions on the ends are set on a contrasting cream/ivory ground and contain bold, stylized cruciform (cross) elements, characteristic of certain Shirvan or Marasali substyles. The field is further enhanced by subtle geometric filler motifs and angular outlines in camel, terra cotta, and blue. The complex, multi-band border system features repeating geometric patterns and intricate serrated motifs, framing the central design beautifully. Woven from hand-spun wool and colored with deep, lasting natural dyes, this rug maintains a dense knot structure and a flexible handle, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship of the region. This genuine antique textile is a well-preserved piece of history that adds depth, color, and tradition to any space.
