About the Item

Authentic Caucasian Karabagh botanic handmade wool carpet Size: 6'8" × 15'0" (203 × 457 cm) Richly decorative and visually arresting, this antique Karabagh rug exemplifies the sophisticated artistry of late 19th to early 20th-century Caucasian weaving traditions. Hand-knotted with precision, the carpet features a bold and vivid palette dominated by deep raspberry reds, warm sand tones, and bursts of pistachio green, rose pink, ivory, and espresso brown. The design is a true departure from geometric tribal motifs typically associated with the Caucasus. Instead, it embraces a European-inspired, French Aubusson-like floral aesthetic. The field is adorned with large oval medallions arranged in vertical rows, each enclosing a lush bouquet of realistically rendered flowers. These oval cartouches are nestled within a sinuous network of curvilinear vine scrolls and stylized palmettes, which help define the overall rhythm of the composition. A beautifully framed border encircles the main field, bursting with detailed florals on a dark ground, creating a striking contrast and a sense of elegance. Each element is articulated with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the technical prowess of its weavers. Made in the Karabagh region—renowned for producing rugs of exceptional refinement—this piece combines Eastern craftsmanship with a Western decorative sensibility, likely created for a cosmopolitan clientele. Its soft wool, durable foundation, and excellent condition for its age make it both a collector's gem and a dramatic statement piece for contemporary interiors. 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.
