About the Item

Period: Mid 19th century Origin: Fahrola, Caucaus Dimensions: 122 x 144 cm This exquisite rug was woven in the mid-19th century in the Fahrola region of the Caucasus. As a fine example of traditional Caucasian weaving, it reflects the region’s rich cultural heritage and the mastery of geometric design. At the center lies a mihrab form, a symbolic element characteristic of prayer rugs. The emerald green field, contrasted with deep red and dark blue, creates a powerful visual harmony, while the geometric forms and cosmic motifs emphasize balance and symmetry. The surrounding stylized ornaments, repeated throughout the border, traditionally symbolize both protection and prosperity. Fahrola rugs are admired for their durable wool foundation, vivid natural dyes, and strong geometric compositions. Today, they are valued not only as decorative pieces but also as authentic representatives of 19th-century Caucasian artistry and culture.
