About the Item

53652 Rare Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug Runner, 03'02 x 08'05. In the rarefied world of collectible textiles, this hand-knotted wool distressed antique Caucasian Shirvan runner rises as a true emblem of exclusivity and heritage. Woven in the storied weaving villages of the Shirvan region, its composition reveals a mesmerizing all-over geometric pattern—square medallions filled with enigmatic tribal motifs that seem to whisper the mysteries of the Caucasus. Each precious thread, softened by time and wear, carries with it a patina of authenticity, transforming this runner into more than an object of décor—it is a passageway into history, a statement of cultivated taste and cultural discernment. Framed by a leaf-and-calyx border—often called the “wine glass” motif—flanked with a delicate floral guard band, this rug unites tribal vitality with classical refinement. The interplay of bold geometry and nuanced botanical forms embodies a tension between earth and spirit, structure and improvisation. Distressed to perfection, the rug’s weathered texture creates a coveted aesthetic prized by elite collectors and interior visionaries alike: that elusive combination of sophistication and lived-in authenticity that speaks to the artistry of the hand and the passage of time. As an interior statement, the versatility of this Shirvan runner transcends style boundaries. Its restrained palette and geometric vitality allow it to anchor modern minimalism with soulful depth, to warm rustic spaces with tribal gravitas, or to add intrigue and graphic appeal to both traditional and contemporary designs. Its ability to straddle these worlds underscores its prestige: few antique rugs can command such adaptability while retaining such purity of character. To own it is to claim a piece of history that elevates interiors into curated sanctuaries of refinement. Beyond its beauty, this extraordinary masterpiece carries profound symbolic and social value. The motifs—rooted in ancient Caucasian beliefs—speak of fertility, protection, and cosmic order, while the act of preserving and acquiring such an exquisite work of art ensures the survival of traditions in an era when handmade artistry is increasingly rare. To acquire this Shirvan is to become a steward of heritage, a patron of cultural continuity. It is not only a luxurious adornment but a declaration of responsibility: a rug that embodies exclusivity, symbolic richness, and the enduring power of human creativity woven across centuries. Rendered in variegated shades of tan, sand, brown, taupe, coffee, ecru, orange, and red with other accent colors. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Caucasus Region (Old Russia). Measures: 03'02 x 08'05. Date: 1900's. Early 20th Century.
