About the Item
78952 Antique Caucasian Shirvan Kilim Rug, 06'07 x 08'06. This handwoven wool antique Caucasian Shirvan kilim rug, crafted in the southern Caucasus during the late 19th century, is a remarkable representation of the rich weaving tradition of the Shirvan region. Renowned for their intricate geometric patterns and vibrant use of color, Shirvan kilims are highly prized for their bold designs and symbolic motifs, which reflect the beliefs and lifestyles of the nomadic tribes who created them. This particular Caucasian kilim is no exception, with its striking arrangement of diamonds, stripes, and vibrant colors that bring a sense of movement and energy to the piece.
The geometric medallions featured prominently in this antique Caucasian kilim rug are a hallmark of Shirvan design, symbolizing protection and balance. Each medallion is adorned with smaller geometric motifs, such as crosses and stylized stars, which are believed to ward off evil and ensure harmony in the household. The alternating rows of these medallions, woven in shades of red, blue, teal, and beige, are set against a backdrop of horizontal bands, creating a dynamic interplay of color and pattern that captures the eye and holds attention. The precision of the weaving and the symmetry of the design reflect the weaver's skill and deep connection to their cultural heritage.
The use of natural vegetable dyes gives the Caucasian kilim a rich and vibrant palette, with the colors having softened beautifully over time to create a warm, inviting patina. The reds, blues, and earth tones used in this Shirvan kilim rug are typical of Caucasian textiles, where weavers utilized the natural materials available to them to create dyes that were not only striking but long-lasting. This use of natural dyes, along with the flatweave technique, ensures the durability and longevity of the rug, making it as functional as it is beautiful. The softening of the colors over time has only enhanced the rug's historical charm, giving it a depth of character that modern reproductions cannot replicate.
Whether used as a floor covering or as a decorative wall hanging, this antique Caucasian Shirvan kilim rug is more than just a textile; it is a piece of history. The symbolic motifs and vibrant colors reflect the values and beliefs of the Shirvan nomads, while the craftsmanship and artistry speak to a time when rugs were not only functional but also deeply personal expressions of cultural identity. This Late 19th Century Caucasian kilim invites warmth, history, and nomadic charm into any space, making it a treasured piece for collectors and enthusiasts of antique tribal rugs. Its bold designs and harmonious color palette ensure that it remains a captivating work of art that transcends time and place.
