About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool circa 1880-1890, this 4x9 antique Caucasian rug of the late 19th century is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s collection, featuring geometric patterns drawing inspiration from classic nomadic motifs—particularly the "Lesghi" star pattern seen in the medallions here. On the Design: A vibrant, warm polychromatic colorway underscores four eight-pointed medallions, fabulously executed for the look of graphic, bold presence and old-world charm that made this tribal motif so celebrated among our peers. Keen eyes for detail will further note the many other intricate tribal motifs, along with geometric detail in the borders and the more small-scale pieces in the field alike, which all lend a fabulous look of dimensionality and the personal, intimate detail inherent to nomadic weaving traditions. It’s a gorgeous shabby-chic piece, teeming with the rustic charm, colorful traditional beauty, and cultured air that could lend elegance to so many spaces. Condition: This antique Caucasian rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor.
