About the Item
78966 Distressed Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug, 02'10 x 03'07.
This hand-knotted wool Shirvan rug, dating back to the 1880s, offers a captivating glimpse into the artistry of the Caucasus region during the late 19th century. The Caucasian tribal rug’s geometric design is a testament to the weavers' skill, incorporating traditional motifs with a symbolic depth that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Shirvan district. Woven with natural dyes, the once-vibrant palette has gracefully softened over time, giving the rug a beautiful, distressed patina that speaks to its age and history. The central field features a series of diamond-shaped medallions, each surrounded by smaller geometric elements, which contribute to the Shirvan rug's rhythmic and balanced composition.
The two large latch-hook medallions anchor the design, featuring angular motifs that are hallmarks of Shirvan weavings. These hooked medallions are filled with intricate, smaller ying-yang unison shapes—possibly symbolic of protection, fertility, or the harmony between a man and a woman. The use of rich reds, blues, greens, and yellows, though faded, still displays the vibrancy that would have made this Caucasian Shirvan rug a striking centerpiece in any home. Each section of the medallion is skillfully composed, alternating between complex patterns of hooked motifs and grid-like designs that lend the piece an architectural precision.
Surrounding the central medallions is an eclectic mix of smaller, densely packed cross motifs that add depth and texture to the overall design. The outer border is a remarkable feature of this rug, framed with a repeating rosettes shapes and inner main border features a continuous series of vibrant geometric shapes. The border’s sharp, angular forms alternate in color, creating a lively visual rhythm that draws the eye to the edge of the piece. The careful arrangement of these motifs reveals the weaver's intimate knowledge of pattern making, passed down through generations of Caucasian artisans.
This distressed antique Shirvan rug, with its soft and worn texture, carries the essence of time within its fibers. The weathered look, now highly sought after for its laid-back luxury appeal, evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. The Caucasian rug’s natural wear does not diminish its beauty; instead, it enhances its character, making it a living artifact. Perfect for adding depth to a modern interior or complementing a traditional space, this late 19th-century Shirvan rug is more than just a decorative piece—it is a tangible connection to the past, embodying the history and craftsmanship of Caucasian weaving traditions.
