About the Item

The Shirvan region is one of the major weaving areas of the eastern Caucasus that lies on the coast of the Caspian Sea. There are many towns in this region which have become associated with particular designs. Flat-woven rugs have neither knots nor pile. The weft threads of these rugs serve both an aesthetic role as well as a structural role. The designs are utilized by changing the colors of these threads as they are passed through the warp threads and looped back to execute the patterns in them. The resulting surface is flat, and these rugs are referred to as kilims. Shirvan kilims are known to have a series of horizontal bands, each containing different geometric interpretations of floral elements. 10' 9" x 5' 1".

Antique Caucasian Shirvan Kilim Rug 5'5 x 9'10
Located in New York, NY
Antique Caucasian Shirvan Kilim Rug 5'5 x 9'10. This is a Shirvan Kilim long rug with a pattern of wide navy horizontal rows of stepped hexagons enclosing smaller, similar hooked devices. Instead of wide and somewhat narrower bands alternating, the latter have shrunk to thinner ivory lines with stepped crosses as ornaments. Terra cotta, ivory, medium blue, yellow-tan and brown-lack are among the salient tones of this slit tapestry carpet with a generally more restrained palette. At the ends of the broad sections are amusing geometric fillers. The general tonality extends to the dark grey-brown barber pole warps. In their country of origin, these kilims had multiple functions: floor coverings, room dividers, wall decorations, cart covers, indeed any place where a durable, colorful larger scale textile...
