About the Item

Step into the enchanting world of the Shirvan rug, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Caucasus region. This particular masterpiece boasts a stunning navy background, reminiscent of a moonlit night sky, setting the stage for a captivating visual journey. Running proudly down the center of the rug are four majestic medallions, each showcasing its unique personality and color palette. The medallions, elegantly shaped, command attention with their vibrant hues. A turquoise medallion captures the eye with its serene and tranquil presence, while a fiery red medallion ignites passion and intensity. A cool blue medallion exudes a sense of calmness, and an orangish-red medallion adds a touch of warmth and vibrancy. All four medallions are surrounded by an ivory lining, enhancing their prominence and allowing them to shine amidst the intricate tapestry. Around these remarkable medallions, a multitude of motifs unfold, creating a visual feast for the senses. Box motifs, artfully arranged in a linear fashion, serve as elegant companions to the diamond-shaped medallions, harmoniously complementing their geometric allure. These motifs form a mesmerizing pattern, drawing the eye and leading the gaze along a captivating journey of discovery. As your eyes wander beyond the medallions, an expanse of smaller geometric motifs comes into view, sprawled across the open field of the rug.

Within this intricate design, one can find echoes of ancient symbolism and cultural significance, a testament to the rich heritage of the Caucasian region. The Shirvan rug boasts a splendid border that complements its overall aesthetic. Bathed in a warm and radiant yellow hue, the border creates a captivating contrast against the navy background. Within this border, geometric motifs take centre stage once again, showcasing an exquisite fusion of turquoise, light blue, red, and ivory. These motifs weave a visual tapestry that embodies the spirit of the Caucasus, where tradition and artistic expression converge to create timeless beauty. Antique Caucasian Shirvan rugs, like this masterpiece, are treasured for their exceptional craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and distinctive designs.
