About the Item
77532 Vintage Pakistani Shirvan Tribal Rug, 05'10 x 09'02. Woven with a rhythmic hand and a soul steeped in tradition, this vintage Pakistani Shirvan tribal rug sings the ancestral song of the Caucasus, revived on South Asian looms. Its rich red field pulses with the warmth of hearth and homeland, grounded by a lattice of geometric medallions—each a relic of ancient cosmologies, each echoing the chants of nomadic spirits across the steppes. These serrated medallions and cruciform glyphs, boldly drawn in hues of beige, navy blue, saffron, and moss, summon a tribal aesthetic that is both timeless and sacred.
The Pakistani rug’s symmetrical field is anchored by a central axis of medallions, their balanced geometry a nod to the enduring harmony sought by the peoples of the Shirvan region. Star motifs glimmer like celestial bodies, guiding the eye and soul inward to an axis of faith, protection, and ancestral reverence. Interspersed are angular latch hooks and totemic forms—protective glyphs believed to ward off the evil eye and invite fortune. These motifs, once passed from weaver to weaver through oral and visual tradition, now lie suspended in woolen verse, each knot a syllable in the language of a nomadic lineage.
Framing this vibrant constellation is a broad tribal border, alive with stylized palmettes and dragon leaves—motifs that evoke both blooming flora and mythical guardians. These botanical forms, rendered in contrasting tones of navy, coral, and celadon, offer a lyrical enclosure, like the margins of an illuminated manuscript. The secondary guard borders, adorned with rosettes and undulating vines, complete the composition with an air of refinement that mirrors the organic geometry within.
This vintage tribal rug, though born in the looms of Pakistan, pays homage to the enduring artistry of the Shirvan weavers from the Caucasus mountains. It bridges continents and centuries, telling a story not only of design, but of migration, adaptation, and the tenacity of beauty. Whether draped across stone floors or adorning modern interiors, this woven poem is a testament to heritage—its cadence eternal, its artistry profound.
