Doris Leslie Blau Antique 1920s Caucasian Karabagh Rug with Paisley Design

About the Item

Antique 1920s Caucasian Karabagh Rug with Paisley Design Size: 7'3" × 16'5" (220 × 500 cm) This striking antique Karabagh rug, handwoven in the Caucasus during the 1920s, presents a vivid and highly stylized interpretation of the classic buta (paisley) motif, a form deeply rooted in Eastern textile traditions. The field of the rug is densely packed with alternating rows of flamboyant boteh forms, each gracefully curled and dramatically outlined in shades of crimson, rose, apricot, camel, and chartreuse, all set against a deep charcoal-black ground that enhances their vibrancy. Each paisley is filled with intricate, abstracted elements in a rich palette, contributing to the composition's rhythmic complexity and lively movement. Smaller floral bursts and floating rosettes intersperse the botehs, lending balance and an organic softness to the graphic dynamism of the main design. The border is framed in a warm olive-toned band, densely decorated with stylized blossoms and lozenges in complementary hues, grounding the central field with a structured, harmonious finish. Executed in an exceptionally fine weave with wool pile on a wool foundation, this piece not only reflects the high craftsmanship characteristic of Karabagh weavers but also demonstrates the region’s historical embrace of vibrant aesthetics inspired by Persian and European textile traditions. This rug would make a bold statement in both traditional and contemporary interiors, serving as a cultural artifact and an artistic focal point. 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.
