About the Item

73231 Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug Runner, 03'03 x 11'00. Caucasian Shirvan carpet runners originate from the Shirvan region nestled in the Caucasus Mountains, renowned for their vibrant hues, geometric designs, and intricate motifs. These traditional rugs are crafted using age-old techniques handed down through generations, often utilizing natural materials like wool, cotton, and occasionally silk. Whether gracing hallways, corridors, or staircases, they infuse spaces with warmth, color, and cultural depth. Revered for their exceptional quality, meticulous craftsmanship, and enduring resilience, these carpet runners often become treasured heirlooms passed down through families across generations. This hand-knotted wool antique Caucasian Shirvan rug is adorned with a mesmerizing array of boteh motifs, creating an alluring repetitive pattern across its surface. The boteh motif, widely utilized in various cultures, holds deep symbolic significance, often representing the essence of life itself. Resembling natural forms such as leaves, bushes, pinecones, sprouts, and flames, the boteh symbolizes the potential for growth, renewal, and regeneration. Its presence on this rug not only adds aesthetic charm but also infuses the space with a profound connection to the cycles of nature. The rug's design is further enriched by idyllic waves of abrash that traverse horizontally across the boteh-patterned field. This interplay between the boteh motifs and the abrash waves serves to bridge the interiors of the home with the elemental beauty of the natural world. Framed by a diagonal Gendge stripe border, complemented by inner and outer geometric guard borders, the Caucasian carpet runner exudes a harmonious balance of tradition and sophistication. With its dazzling poly-chromatic color palette and captivating display of boteh motifs, this antique Shirvan runner has the power to invigorate nearly any space it inhabits. Beyond its aesthetic allure, the rug serves as a timeless testament to the enduring symbolism of the boteh motif, inviting contemplation of life's inherent vitality and the eternal cycle of growth and renewal.
