Caucasian Rug Karabakh Extra Long

About the Item

This breathtaking Caucasian rug Karabakh, measuring an impressive 560 × 190 cm, is a magnificent piece of vibrant colors and intricate patterns, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and masterful craftsmanship of the Karabakh region. The central field of the rug is a dynamic explosion of floral and geometric motifs, meticulously woven in a symphony of colors. Dominating the design are an array of stylized blossoms and leaves, each rendered in vivid shades of red, ivory, and green, set against a striking midnight blue background. These colors are interspersed with accents of soft gold and pale pink, creating a lively contrast that brings the patterns to life. The motifs are arranged in a seemingly random yet harmonious manner, much like a wild garden in full bloom. This arrangement gives the rug a sense of natural beauty and organic flow, inviting the viewer to explore every inch of its detailed design. Interspersed among the floral patterns are geometric shapes and symbols, adding layers of complexity and depth to the overall composition. Encircling the central field is a series of borders, each one more detailed and elaborate than the last. The innermost border features a delicate chain of small, interconnected geometric shapes in shades of red and ivory, creating a frame that draws the eye inward to the central design. This is followed by a wider border adorned with intricate floral patterns and stylized vines, their flowing curves and precise lines reminiscent of the natural beauty of the Caucasian landscape. The outermost border is a bold, continuous pattern of zigzags and diamonds in a rich blend of colors, including vibrant oranges, deep blues, and soft greens. This border not only frames the entire design but also adds a dynamic sense of movement, guiding the viewer’s eye around the perimeter of the rug and enhancing the overall composition. The texture of the Karabakh rug is both robust and luxurious, with its thick pile and intricate weave offering a tactile richness that complements its visual appeal. Each thread and knot is a testament to the dedication and skill of the weavers, resulting in a piece that is both durable and beautiful. This Antique Caucasian Karabakh rug is more than just a decorative item; it is a work of art that brings the history and culture of the Karabakh region into your home. Its vivid colors, intricate patterns, and luxurious texture make it a perfect centerpiece, inviting admiration and adding a touch of timeless elegance to any space.

Ararat Rugs Chelaberd Karabakh Rug Antique Caucasian Revival Carpet Natural Dyed
By Ararat Rugs
Located in Tokyo, JP
The design source of the rug comes from the book Tapis du Caucase – Rugs of the Caucasus, Ian Bennett & Aziz Bassoul, The Nicholas Sursock Museum, Beirut, Lebanon 2003, nr.29 and Oriental Rugs Volume 1 Caucasian, Ian Bennett, Oriental Textile Press, Aberdeen 1993, nr.93 and Caucasian Carpets, E. Gans-Reudin, Thames and Hudson, Switzerland 1986, pg.144. This is a large medallion rug from the late 19th century, Karabakh, Chelaberd (a village slightly to the southeast of Chondzoresk) region, Caucasus area. At Chelaberd, carpets were manufactured according to strict regulations; and, as a result, dimensions, motifs, and borders are approximately the same throughout. This example bears large medallions on its red ground; the colored features stand out well against the white ground. There has been all manner of suggestions as to the identity of this cruciform motif spiked with long-stemmed flowers: according to various traditions, it has been taken for a bird in flight, a sun flashing its beams of light, crossed swords, or even the coat of arms of a family or town. As a result, this type of carpet is habitually called an ‘Eagle Kazak (Adler in German)’, ‘Sun or Sunburst Kazak...
