About the Item

Late 19th-century Caucasian area rug from the renowned Shirvan village in the Azerbaijan region of the Southern Caucasus. Woven in the fourth quarter of the 1800s, it showcases the intricate geometry and bold coloration that define the finest Shirvan weavings. The rug features three prominent diamond medallions in ivory and orange, dramatically set against a rich navy blue field. The sharp contrast of the ivory diamonds against the dark background creates a visually captivating composition, reflecting both balance and vibrancy. Adding further charm are the corner spandrels in a soft pale plum, each adorned with abstract geometric motifs that subtly resemble stylized face forms—an element of whimsical character and cultural intrigue. The entire design is framed by an ivory border, intricately patterned with geometric figures in yellow, brown, and navy, lending a harmonious and grounded finish to the piece. Woven with natural dyes and high-quality wool, this Shirvan rug is a testament to the artistry and symbolism of the Caucasian weaving tradition, offering a timeless, collectible piece that enriches any interior with history and design sophistication.

19th Century Persian Heriz Karajah Area Rug
Located in Barrington, IL
A beautifully preserved antique Heriz Karajeh area rug, handwoven in Northwest Persia circa the late 1800s. This piece features a refined geometric layout with three small medallions aligned vertically along the central axis, set against a deep navy blue field. The medallions display a striking palette of abrash-dyed blue, ivory, and pale green, surrounded by traditional tribal motifs in soft rust, sage green, and ivory tones. The main border, rendered in a rich rust-red, frames the central composition with balance and warmth. Notable for its fine weaving technique and thoughtfully restrained color palette, this rug reflects the transitional qualities of late 19th-century Karajeh craftsmanship—blending tribal boldness with refined elegance. This collectible piece is ideally suited for smaller spaces or as an anchor in layered interior schemes, offering heritage, charm, and visual sophistication.
