About the Item

This exceptional Caucasian Shahsavan all-over design carpet is a rare example of Kalleh-size tribal weaving from the Caucasus, showcasing a highly intricate and symmetric floral pattern across its entire field. The main field is filled with repeating floral motifs arranged in organized horizontal bands—each flower delicately outlined and rendered in shades of crimson, sky blue, navy, and ivory against a pale beige ground. The composition is framed by a dynamic tribal border made up of symbolic geometric elements and shield-like medallions in strong reds, indigos, and camel tones. Secondary borders exhibit classic Caucasian motifs such as hooked elements, stylized rams’ horns, and abstract talismanic patterns—imbuing the rug with symbolic protection and storytelling. What makes this piece particularly desirable is its elongated Kalleh (gallery) format, traditionally used in tent entrances or communal tribal spaces. Its generous proportions and all-over design make it ideal for wide corridors, grand entrances, or wall display. Signs of honest age-related wear further attest to its authenticity and charm, adding character without compromising structural integrity. A true collector’s rug for lovers of tribal and ethnographic textiles.
