About the Item

Early 20th century Karabagh brown and beige handmade wool rug Size: 6'6" x 17'9" (198 x 541 cm) This rare 1920s Karabagh rug from the Caucasus region is a stunning example of the subtler side of Caucasian textile artistry. Unlike many Karabagh rugs known for their vivid palettes and dramatic contrasts, this piece embraces a nuanced tone-on-tone color scheme in harmonious shades of brown and beige, achieving depth and complexity through understated elegance. The rug's field is densely populated with an allover botanical lattice composed of stylized vines, palmettes, and floral motifs arranged in a tight, mirrored repeat. This symmetrical composition echoes classical Persian garden designs, but its execution in Karabagh's coarser knotting style gives it a rustic charm. The soft brown patterning is set against a warm camel-beige ground, lending the piece a quiet sophistication. Framing the central design is a series of narrow guard borders and a wider main border filled with delicately drawn grapevine scrolls, further emphasizing the natural theme. The monochromatic palette enhances the tactile texture of the wool pile, allowing the rich details of the weave and pattern to emerge subtly under shifting light. This rug’s proportions make it ideal for a grand hallway, gallery, or as a grounding piece in a minimalist interior that values organic materials and timeless design. Its neutral hues offer versatility, while the intricate design provides visual interest without overpowering a space. This Karabagh rug exemplifies a refined vision of Caucasian weaving—earthy, elegant, and rooted in tradition—making it a compelling choice for collectors and designers alike who appreciate quiet luxury. 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.
