About the Item

Antique Karabagh carpet Size: 7'6" x 16'9" (228 x 510 cm) This extraordinary 19th-century Karabagh carpet from the Caucasus region exemplifies the refined artistry and aesthetic sophistication associated with the finest antique rugs. Drawing inspiration from classical French Aubusson and Savonnerie designs, this piece is a rare fusion of Eastern craftsmanship and Western sensibility. The field is adorned with an elaborate botanical pattern of scrolling acanthus leaves, stylized vines, blossoming flowers, and perched birds, all rendered in a soft, nuanced palette of dusty rose, warm ivory, muted salmon, blush pink, and pale green, set against a dramatic charcoal-black background. These naturalistic motifs are not only decorative but symbolic—representing themes of paradise, rebirth, and harmony. An ornate frame of meandering floral vines and foliage envelopes the central design, echoing the stylized botanical theme with remarkable symmetry and balance. This border, in muted earth tones with a repeating pattern of grape-like clusters and leaves, adds a sense of grounding elegance. Notably, this rug stands out for its refined structure and precision. The tight weave and fine knotting showcase the technical skill of the Karabagh weavers. Despite its age, the carpet retains exceptional detail, as seen in the crisp outlines and rich layering of floral forms. Due to its large size, stately proportions, and European flair, this Karabagh rug would have originally been intended for a grand interior space. Today, it offers a timeless elegance that works beautifully in both traditional and eclectic contemporary interiors. Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
