About the Item

Discover the Timeless Elegance of Karaciof Rugs: A Tribute to Caucasian Craftsmanship Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history with the exquisite Karaciof rug, a testament to the enduring artistry of Caucasian weavers. This hand-knotted masterpiece, originating from the northern shores of Lake Sewan in the 19th century, embodies the essence of Eastern Turkestan’s ancient traditions. Central Medallion: The Heart of the Rug At the core of the Karaciof rug lies the iconic beige octagonal medallion, a symbol of strength and elegance. Surrounded by a classical red and blue square checkerboard, the medallion is connected by dual hooks in the same vibrant hues, creating a harmonious blend of color and form. Archaic Patterns: A Window to the Past The rug’s archaic patterns are not merely decorative; they are a narrative of its origins, a story woven into every fiber, revealing the distant roots of Eastern Turkestan and the skilled hands that crafted it. Geometric Precision: A Dance of Color and Shape The geometric rigor of the Karaciof rug is unparalleled, featuring stylized animals, symbolic motifs, and an array of small, intricate decorations. Witness geometric shapes intermingling with stylized representations of plants and flowers, each element meticulously placed to create a visual symphony. Palette of Nature: A Symphony in Wool The central pattern is a kaleidoscope of beige, ancient red, sugar-paper blue, and darker shades, flanked by side panels in forest green and meadow light green. The outer border, set against a beige backdrop, is framed by additional geometric bands in sugar-paper blue and red, showcasing the rug’s vibrant and enduring colors. A Masterpiece for Every Setting This ancient Caucasian carpet, handcrafted in the latter half of the 19th century, is more than a floor covering; it’s a piece of history that seamlessly integrates into both contemporary and traditional spaces. Its geometric precision and bright, natural colors—derived from vegetable and animal sources—speak of the weavers’ pride in their cultural heritage. The Signature of Authenticity: Ghiordes Knot Renowned among collectors and connoisseurs, the Karaciof rug features the symmetrical Ghiordes knot, also known as Turkibaf, a hallmark of its authenticity. The warp and weft, composed entirely of wool, are a testament to the rug’s fine, tight, and compact craftsmanship. Unrestored Original: A Rarity in Time This original piece has stood the test of time without restoration, maintaining its flawless condition. The varying shades of color are a signature characteristic, highlighting the natural dyeing process and the organic beauty of the fibers. Embrace the allure of the Karaciof rug, a vibrant and geometrically sophisticated creation that captures the spirit of the Caucasus and the timeless appeal of its weaving traditions.
