Late 19th Century Caucasian Lesghi Star Shirvan Rug with Modern Style

About the Item

72858 Late 19th Century Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug, 03'05 x 04'09. This hand-knotted wool antique Caucasian Shirvan rug, a stunning example from the Late 19th Century, bursts forth with a powerful tribal elegance that speaks of ancient traditions and sacred symbolism. At its heart, three Lesghi Stars shine brightly, their geometric symmetry a reflection of the balance and strength that the people of the Caucasus hold dear. These bold stars are more than mere motifs—they are protective emblems, believed to guard the home and ensure safety. Surrounded by classic Caucasian symbols of fertility, longevity, and prosperity, the tribal Shirvan rug serves as both a work of art and a spiritual talisman, inviting vitality and positive energy into nearly any space it inhabits. The field is filled with a dynamic array of these symbols, each contributing to the rich narrative woven into the fabric of the rug. The stars, flanked by intricate geometric designs, command the center of the composition, while smaller motifs of floral and angular forms weave a tapestry of meaning. These elements are not merely decorative but carry with them deep cultural significance—protection against evil, the promise of bountiful harvests, and the continuity of life itself. The subtle play of colors, from rich reds to vibrant blues, creates a visual rhythm that mirrors the ever-present flow of nature, grounding the spirit while elevating the senses. The edges of this magnificent piece are framed by a distinctive leaf and calyx-style border, reminiscent of a wine glass, symbolizing the nurturing and life-giving qualities of nature. This central border is flanked by two rosette borders, their swirling patterns a testament to the perpetual motion of life. Subsidiary guard bands, composed of repeating Elibelinde motifs, protect the integrity of the design, ensuring that the balance between form and meaning remains intact. The Elibelinde, a symbol of fertility and protection, enhances the rug's powerful connection to the earth, wrapping the viewer in a sense of both serenity and strength. With its rich symbolism, stunning craftsmanship, and vibrant palette, this antique Shirvan rug is not merely a decoration—it is a statement of cultural identity and spiritual belief. The Lesghi Stars, guarding the weaver’s world, are a reminder of the timeless connection between humanity and the elements, between protection and growth. As a piece that bridges the past and the present, this Shirvan rug brings a sense of vitality, heritage, and authenticity to any space it occupies, making it a true heirloom of the Caucasus. Abrash.
