Introducing the exquisite Shirvan Rug from Ararat Rugs—a true testament to the rich tapestry of Caucasian artistry. Handcrafted with precision in Diyarbakir, Turkey, this rug encapsulates the essence of traditional Shirvan design, making it a coveted piece for collectors and interior enthusiasts alike. Dimensions and Craftsmanship: Measuring 3 feet 9 inches by 4 feet 9 inches (116 cm x 146 cm), this rug is a harmonious blend of size and elegance. The use of natural dyed, hand-spun wool ensures authenticity and longevity, while the symmetrical knotting technique, boasting a density of 42x35 knots per square decimeter and a 3 mm pile height, offers a plush and intricate finish. Design and Color Palette: The rug showcases a captivating array of six natural colors: Midnight Blue 347: A deep hue achieved from a blend of spurge, madder root, and indigo. Imperial Red 415: A rich shade derived from madder root. Natural Wool Color 320: Highlighting the wool's undyed, organic beauty. Sunray Color 405: A warm tone obtained using henna. Dark Sky Blue 23: A serene shade produced from indigo. Feldgrau 414: A muted green-gray created through a combination of chamomile and indigo. These hues are meticulously combined to reflect the traditional aesthetics of the Shirvan region, renowned for its finely knotted and sophisticated carpets. The design elements pay homage to the region's legacy, featuring geometric patterns and medallions that are emblematic of Shirvan's artistry. Historical Significance: Shirvan rugs, originating from the southeastern Caucasus, are celebrated for their intricate designs and exceptional craftsmanship. Historically, these rugs were handwoven in the Shirvan region of Azerbaijan, an area known for producing some of the most finely knotted and sophisticated carpets in the Caucasus.
