About the Item

This striking Caucasian rug prayer Marasali is a superb example of the refined artistry of the Shirvan region. Its distinctive mihrab (prayer niche) design is framed by an elegant stepped arch and surrounded by multiple intricate borders. The field is filled with stylized boteh (paisley) motifs—a symbol of fertility and life—each rendered with precision and rich natural dyes. The color palette is warm yet vibrant, with tones of saffron, indigo, coral, and ivory playing against a deep navy background, creating a sense of rhythm and harmony. The geometric border work is exceptionally fine, adding to the complexity and balance of the composition. Marasali rugs are especially prized for their tight weave, high wool quality, and spiritual symbolism, often associated with personal prayer and private devotion. This piece’s relatively small format makes it ideal for display as a wall hanging or to accent a special corner in an interior. A museum-quality collector's piece for those who appreciate ethnographic pieces, tribal symbolism, and Caucasian craftsmanship.

Antique Caucasian Rug - Rare Caucasian Carpet, Caucasus Rug, Antique Rug
Located in Sultanahmet, 34
Rare Caucasian Rug Caucasus Rug Size: 176×224 cm This wonderful rug is a formerly unpublished addition to a small and rare group of blue-ground Caucasian rugs whose design is dominated by a prominent decahedral gabled ivory medallion. The overall pattern echoes that of a group of earlier 17th and 18th century north west Persian carpets, whose designs were based upon the Persian garden plan known as the “Four Gardens” or Chahar Bagh (M.S.Dimand & J. Mailey, Oriental Rugs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1973, p.84, fig.116). The smaller lozenges that extend above and below the central medallion on the present lot, are linked by a narrow vertical channel which represents the streams and ornamental pools that feed the flowering trees and shrubs on either side. The once eight-pointed medallion, that is an archaic form found in early Anatolian and Caucasian rugs, and which continues to be used throughout the nineteenth century in Fachralo rugs...
