1920's Caucasian Karabakh Carpet with Modern Style

About the Item

77018 Antique Caucasian Karabagh Rug, 06'07 x 19'00. This hand-knotted wool antique Caucasian Karabagh rug is an exquisite representation of the region’s rich artistic heritage, meticulously woven with a timeless lattice pattern that spans the entire field. The design is a mesmerizing array of interlocking diamonds, each filled with floral motifs that radiate a sense of both symmetry and organic flow. The warm, earthy tones of the field — deep browns and russet hues — are softened by the occasional presence of vibrant hot pinks and subtle cerulean blue tones, creating a dynamic yet harmonious visual experience. This allover pattern, both bold and intricate, speaks to the skill and precision of the weaver, who has effortlessly captured the essence of Karabagh’s visual culture while ensuring that each motif dances across the surface with both rhythm and grace. Encircling this magnificent lattice is a Samovar turtle and vine scroll border, which acts as both a protective and decorative element, framing the design with a sense of continuity and tradition. The fluidity of the turtle and vine scrolls, set against a rich, dark backdrop with chocolate-aubergine hues, suggests movement and life, evoking the image of a never-ending cycle of nature. The delicate yet intricate rendering of this border, in combination with the vibrant floral motifs within the lattice, evokes the warmth and vitality of the Karabagh region, where each motif carries deep cultural and symbolic significance. This border provides both structure and fluidity, creating a visual balance that connects the rich field with the intricate border elements. The Samovar border is flanked by two abstract floral guard borders, which introduce an added layer of complexity and refinement to the rug’s composition. These guard borders, while featuring stylized floral patterns, are distinctly abstract, offering a modernist take on traditional Caucasian rug designs. They form a visual boundary, separating the main body of the rug from the outer edge while continuing the floral theme in a more restrained manner. The contrast between the more fluid design of the Samovar border and the crisp, geometric shapes within the guard borders highlights the versatile nature of the rug’s design, blending tradition with a touch of modern abstraction. As a whole, this antique Caucasian Karabagh rug is a masterpiece that bridges generations, merging ancient weaving traditions with the unique artistry of the Caucasus region. It stands as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the weaver, whose ability to balance the bold lattice pattern with the delicate, flowing borders reflects a deep understanding of the natural world and its symbolic meaning. Perfect for any collection, this woven wonder is more than a mere decorative piece — it is a work of art that tells the story of the land, its people, and its artistic evolution over time. Its vibrant colors and intricate patterns will bring warmth, character, and a touch of history to nearly any interior it graces. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Armenia (Caucasus Region). Measures: 06'07 x 19'00. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
