Doris Leslie Blau 19th Century Russian Karabagh Handmade Wool Rug

About the Item

Authentic 19th Century Russian Karabagh Gallery Handmade Wool Rug Size: 6'6" × 17'3" (198 × 525 cm) This exquisite antique Karabagh rug, handwoven in the Caucasus region of Russia around the turn of the 20th century, showcases the refined artistry and intricate symbolism characteristic of the region's weavings. Rendered in a warm and harmonious palette of dusty rose, muted caramel, cocoa brown, ivory, and soft blush, the rug exudes understated elegance with a distinctly rustic charm. The field is arranged into a grand lattice of diagonal medallions that evoke garden trellises, each filled with a mesmerizing profusion of stylized flora. These intricate motifs—ranging from floral diamonds and rosettes to delicate stems and crowned palmettes—unfold in a rhythmic geometry reminiscent of nature in full bloom. The floral iconography reflects the Karabagh tradition of blending Persian-inspired design with local folk aesthetics, resulting in a composition that is both formal and organic. Framing the central lattice are multiple borders, each finely executed with complementary floral themes. The primary border features a meandering vine with palmettes and rosettes in soft pastels, surrounded by narrower guard bands that add structure and depth to the overall design. Particularly notable is the subtle gradation of tones across the field, suggesting natural fading over time and adding to the rug’s antique character. Woven in lustrous wool on a cotton foundation, this piece has a soft, supple handle and a dense pile, providing both visual richness and physical comfort. Its generous proportions and lyrical design make it an ideal candidate for a grand hallway, formal gallery, or dramatic room divider. A true testament to the Karabagh weaving tradition, this rug embodies the sophisticated fusion of Eastern influences and local craftsmanship—an heirloom-quality treasure for collectors and design connoisseurs alike. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
