About the Item

A rare and commanding piece of textile history, this early 20th-century Azerbaijani pictorial Karabakh rug is a masterwork of both symbolism and craftsmanship. At its heart, a striking portrait of Vladimir Lenin is encircled by a lush floral wreath, tied with a ribbon and set against a deep cranberry-colored wool field. The composition is framed by a wide, intricate border—its central band a flourishing display of floral motifs, flanked by pairs of smaller, harmonizing floral-patterned stripes. The bold juxtaposition of political imagery and classical design speaks to the era’s ideological fervor, immortalized through the artistry of Azerbaijan’s master weavers. Karabakh rugs, renowned for their vibrant palettes, intricate patterns, and exceptional quality, have been handwoven in the region for centuries, blending Persian and Caucasian influences into singularly expressive designs. Whether admired as a historical artifact or a stunning decorative statement, this rug embodies the powerful intersection of heritage, politics, and enduring beauty.
