About the Item

76782 Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug, 03'10 x 06'07. This hand-knotted wool antique Caucasian Shirvan rug is a vibrant testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the Caucasus region. Its intricate pattern unfurls like a story written in color, where each motif is carefully woven to evoke the spirit of the land it comes from. The design is a mesmerizing combination of geometric shapes and ambiguous tribal symbols, with a rich, earthy palette of reds, blues, and yellows. The use of bold diamonds and angular motifs reflects the dynamic energy of the region, while the symmetrical arrangement provides a harmonious balance between tradition and innovation. At the heart of the Shirvan rug, the repeating motifs seem to tell a tale of protection and vitality, a visual representation of the symbols that have been revered for generations. The central figures appear as guardian creatures, their stylized forms suggesting both human and animal elements, invoking the eternal connection between the land, its people, and their belief in the powers of nature. The warm red and deep blue tones represent strength and protection, while the yellow and earth-tone accents add a touch of life and growth, bringing a sense of renewal to the piece. The border of the Shirvan rug is equally captivating, featuring a delicate floral design interspersed with bold geometric patterns that echo the intricate symmetry of the field. The surrounding crenelated fence guard bands, with their sharp lines and vibrant hues, act as protective boundaries, ensuring the design’s strength and integrity. These borders are not mere decorations—they are an essential part of the rug's identity, representing the weaver's ability to balance form and function, artistry and symbolism. The carefully crafted borders create a perfect frame for the motifs within, encapsulating them like precious jewels. This antique Shirvan rug carries within it the essence of its origins, encapsulating both the spirit of the Caucasus and the artistry of its weavers. Its beauty is timeless, and its patterns rich with meaning, each knot tied with the hands of those who understood the importance of legacy. As a piece of history, it offers more than just visual appeal—it is a connection to a culture that values both beauty and function. Adorning nearly any space with this woven wonder brings a touch of the old world, a reminder of the traditions that continue to inspire and captivate. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, brick red, blue, tan, brown, maroon and navy blue with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Old Russia (Caucasus Region). Measures: 03'10 x 06'07. Date: 1900's. Early 20th Century.
