Ararat Rugs Lesghi Star Shirvan Rug Caucasian Revival Carpet, Natural Dyed
About the Item
The source of the rug comes from the book Orient Star – A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.30 and Oriental Rugs Volume 1 Caucasian, Ian Bennett, Oriental Textile Press, Aberdeen 1993, pg.326. This is a large stellar medallion as the “Lesghi stars” rug from the 19th century, Shirvan region, Caucasus area. Lesghistan, with this name, we encounter another of the mysteries of east Caucasian weaving which scholarship has still to resolve satisfactorily. The Lesghi are one of many tribes who once inhabited the northeastern area of the Caucasus. There would seem to be little evidence for attributing to them the rugs which are currently described in the West by many dealers and writers as ‘Lesghi‘-in most cases, this means pieces which have on them large serrate-edged square-section stars, the so-called “Lesghi stars“. It has floral decorations with guarding animals in the field, framed with a series of borders including the “leaf and calyx” design. Our designers interpret the design of this rug and vivid colors are chosen for this rug.

ARARAT RUGS
We know and believe that the geography we come from, our past, and our lifestyle are the most important bond between us to carry the oriental carpet art and culture to the next generations along with our core values in our ongoing growth journey.
We are aware that the way to achieve this goal and carry this priceless art and culture to the future depends on a lot of work with all our people every day while adhering to our core values.
For us, art is meaningful in the sense that it brings together various cultures around the world. It is an honor for us that oriental carpet art and culture have been instrumental in this for centuries and that we are a part of this business.
We are tirelessly keeping an eye on auction house information around the world about carpets. New York's Metropolitan, London's Victoria & Albert Museums, and other famous art museums, as well as small specialized museums that house private collections, and books about oriental carpets to collect information on outstanding carpet designs and patterns from around the world. It's our Self-improving and Self-developing culture.
As Turkish Culture of Hospitality, the Kurdish Culture of Generosity, and as Japanese Culture of Business Punctuality; are the most important values that this multicultural background has taught and bequeathed to us. It is essential and valuable for us that you feel this feeling not only by looking at our oriental carpets but from the moment you contact us.

- Ararat Rugs Dragon Rug, Antique Caucasian Revival Carpet, Natural DyedBy Ararat RugsLocated in Tokyo, JPThere has long been a fascination with the symbolism of the dragon and its depiction in carpet weavings. The design of ‘Dragon’ carpets consists of a field pattern composed of different colored overlaid lattices formed of pointed, serrated leaves creating intersecting lozenges, which alternately contain palmettes and are flanked by confronting stylized dragons, birds, or animal figures. The most archaic of the ‘Dragon’ carpets include dragon motifs with birds and running animals relatively naturalistically drawn, which stand either alone or in confronting pairs facing a tree. It has been suggested that the earliest examples of the Caucasian ‘Dragon’ carpets...Category

- Ararat Rugs Star Kazak Rug Caucasian 19th C. Antique Revival Carpet Natural DyedBy Ararat RugsLocated in Tokyo, JPThe source of the rug comes from the book Orient Star – A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.2. This is the best-known example of a Star Kazaks rug from the Mid 19th century from the Central Caucasus area. Star Kazak rugs are considered to be the most desirable of all post-classical Caucasian types and are much in demand among collectors. Star Kazaks are usually called in English ‘star’ Kazak and the second ‘swastika’, although their interlocking design can be interpreted as a version of the star; some of the second types have the swastika motifs standing in greater isolation on a less busy field. However, as with descriptions of Oriental carpet designs generally, the term ‘swastika’ is more one of convenience than reality; pieces of this design can often be found described in the literature as either ‘eternity symbol’ Kazaks or ‘pinwheel’ Kazaks...Category
