About the Item
Antique Caucasian Karabagh blue botanic handmade wool rug
Size: 7'5" × 18'5" (226 × 561 cm)
An exquisite example of 19th-century Armenian craftsmanship, this antique Karabagh rug, woven circa 1880 in the Caucasus region, captures the romantic elegance and refined aesthetic for which Karabagh textiles are renowned. Drawing inspiration from European decorative arts—especially French Aubusson and Savonnerie carpets—this piece reflects the fusion of Eastern weaving traditions with Western artistic sensibilities.
The composition is dominated by an opulent array of floral motifs, with clusters of lush roses, peonies, and garden blooms artfully scattered across a deep indigo field. These blossoms, rendered in vibrant shades of crimson, blush, ivory, and pale gold, appear to grow organically, forming a richly layered tapestry of color and form. The rhythmic, painterly arrangement gives the rug a sense of natural movement, like a flourishing garden caught in mid-bloom.
Encircling the floral field is a wide border adorned with stylized scrolls and Baroque-inspired flourishes in rich rose and coral hues, anchored by a delicate outer guard border of trailing floral motifs in soft blue, ivory, and burgundy. This sophisticated framing enhances the lush interior and highlights the rug’s harmonious palette and balanced design.
Hand-knotted in high-quality wool, this antique Karabagh exemplifies the exceptional artistry of 19th-century Caucasian weaving. It is remarkably well-preserved, retaining both its color saturation and structural integrity. This piece would make a bold and elegant statement in any traditional or eclectic interior, serving as both a functional textile and a collector's artifact.
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.
