Strikingly elegant and steeped in the artistic legacy of the Caucasus, this antique Karabagh rug offers a visually rich tapestry of history and craftsmanship. Woven circa 1900 in the mountainous Karabagh region—known for its bold aesthetics and deeply symbolic patterns—this piece showcases an extraordinary balance of intricate design and refined color harmony.
At the heart of the composition lies a densely ornamented field of midnight indigo, generously populated with a rhythmic array of floral rosettes, palmettes, and stylized vines. The symmetrical layout exudes both dynamism and order, drawing the eye across a grid of stylized medallions in ivory, soft pink, burgundy, and golden ochre. These elements are executed with angular precision, evoking a mosaic-like quality that speaks to the rug’s tribal origins while maintaining a sophisticated decorative appeal.
Framing the central tableau is a striking ivory border adorned with alternating floral motifs, serrated leaves, and geometric flourishes. The border's linear quality provides a formal architectural contrast to the richly populated field, enhancing the overall compositional balance.
Rendered in a wool pile on a wool foundation, the rug displays a medium-to-fine weave with a palpable texture that highlights the depth of its hand-knotted design. Despite its age, the colors remain remarkably vivid—enhanced, rather than diminished, by the subtle abrasions of time. This patina adds warmth and authenticity, making it a true collector’s piece.
Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
