About the Item

Antique 1920s Karabagh Rug Size: 6'5" × 12'2" (195 × 370 cm) This distinguished 1920s Karabagh rug is a beautiful reflection of the Caucasian weaving tradition, interpreted through a uniquely European lens. Drawing inspiration from French Aubusson and Savonnerie styles, this piece showcases the sophisticated interplay between East and West that characterized Karabagh workshop productions in the early 20th century. The rug features a lush, painterly field of abstracted florals and baroque cartouches rendered in soft, muted hues—rose, peach, taupe, dusty coral, and chocolate brown. These floral elements, appearing to float across the faded rose ground, are depicted with a dreamlike quality that evokes antique European tapestry aesthetics, but with a bolder, freer Caucasian hand. The main border presents a delicate meandering vine and blossom motif framed by narrow guards, which serve as both a decorative and grounding element to the ethereal central composition. This fusion of classical formality and expressive abstraction is a hallmark of Karabagh rugs from this era. The subdued palette—dominated by warm beiges, weathered browns, and whispery corals—is enhanced by the naturally faded vegetable dyes, lending the piece a soft, time-worn elegance. The wool pile is medium-height and evenly sheared, with a pleasingly pliant handle that suggests both durability and artisan refinement. Hand-knotted with precision on a cotton foundation, this rug reflects the meticulous standards of Karabagh weavers during the early Soviet period. Its fine weave, combined with its large-scale floral elements and formal layout, speak to its likely origin in a workshop setting rather than purely tribal production. 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.
