About the Item

Fine antique Shirvan rugs are among the most coveted rugs originating from the Caucasus region. These are very finely knotted and are typically found in very small formats. This example is quite rare because of its large size, and given its excellent condition it lends itself perfectly for high traffic areas such as entry halls. The design consists of parallel and offset rows of polychrome hexagonal devices against a dark blue background. This chromatic contrast allows for all these motifs, which are characteristic of Shirvan iconography, to be properly highlighted. It becomes particularly pleasing to discover hidden elements such as stylised humans or curious animals punctuating specific areas of the pattern. A very good example of antique Caucasian weaving which is both decorative and collectible.
