About the Item

This traditional handwoven Caucasian Shirvan rug has an indigo field with geometric and floral sprays enclosing central column of linked stepped lozenges enclosing further geometric motif, in a masculine cream-charcoal trigonal reciprocal border. About Shirven Rugs: The district of Shirvan produced many highly decorative antique rugs that have a complexity that is found in few rugs from the Caucasus. The depth of colors, the complexity of the composition and the phenomenal patterns featured in antique Shirvan rugs set them apart from those produced in other regions of the Caucasus. Shirvan, which is part of modern-day Azerbaijan, was populated by Azeri Turks and some Armenians, who were expert dyers and weavers. The format is generally long and narrow, which would have been preferred by consumers in the Caucasus. This format lends itself well to multi-medallion compositions. Shirvan rugs are often the most sought after antique rugs from the Caucasus.
