About the Item
Antique Karabagh Rug, circa 1920
Size: 4'0" x 6'3" (121 x 190 cm)
This charming antique Karabagh rug, handwoven in the 1920s, is a stunning example of Caucasian textile artistry influenced by Western decorative sensibilities. Crafted in the Karabagh region, which borders Armenia and Azerbaijan, this piece reflects a unique synthesis of local tradition and European floral aesthetics.
At the heart of the rug lies an ornate central medallion rendered in rich chocolate brown, filled with a profusion of blooming roses, peonies, and trailing vines in shades of blush pink, soft ivory, sky blue, and crimson. The medallion’s curvilinear silhouette is outlined in a delicate crimson contour, creating a dramatic focal point against the warm, creamy ivory field. Subtle bouquets in the corners echo the medallion’s lush florals, providing balance and a painterly elegance.
Framing the composition is a deeply hued border, densely packed with sprawling floral motifs and foliage. The effect is both romantic and grounded—a visual nod to French Aubusson and Savonnerie influences that were popular in Russian decorative arts during the early 20th century.
Made of finely knotted wool, this rug offers a velvety texture and a subdued luster. Its compact size and soft palette make it a graceful addition to intimate settings such as bedrooms, reading nooks, or dressing rooms.
This Karabagh rug not only displays technical finesse and artistic flair but also serves as a cultural artifact from a region where East met West in deeply expressive and decorative ways.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
