About the Item

Relying on ancient tribal motifs, geometric designs, and playful abstractions, Caucasian rugs are woven in tribal settings by either village or nomadic folk. Caucasian rugs are woven in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Southwest Russia by a multitude of cultures and tribes that employ distinct characteristics unique to their communities. Woven in the predominantly Armenian populated region of Karabagh, rugs from this region are highly prized by both collectors for their historical value and efficient workmanship as well as by decorators for their bold colors and design patterns. Due to the absence of spacious indoor areas to fit large horizontal looms, weavers in Karabagh we restricted to weaving either small rugs, runner rugs, or gallery carpets with a maximum width of 2 meters. Yet this phenomenon did not restrain them from weaving long rugs, with some rugs reaching as long as 7 meters. At the turn of the century, French decorators who visited the Caucasus began commissioning large Karabagh Gallery carpets from the region. Using a mix of the regional designs and adding their own French flavor led to a unique cross-continental breed of luxurious gallery carpets. In this carpet, one can find polychrome all-over golfarang (“foreign flower”) shield medallion pattern on an ebony field ornated with various animals and tribal motifs. The shields (or so-called mirror design) employ a rich color palette of pastel red, crimson, powder blue, ivory, yellow-green, and pink-grey. The field is fitted within a connecting vine main border of yellow-green leaves and crimson flowerheads. On either end of the main border are crimson guard borders of abstract vines and leaves. The all-over design on an ebony ground and crimson border creates a powerful contrast that highlights the lighter hues of the shield medallions. The repeating bold shield medallions create a sense of grand scale adding stature to its setting.
