About the Item

19th Century Karabagh Floral Design Wool Rug (Size Adjusted) Doris Leslie Blau Size: 8'5" × 17'5" (256 × 530 cm) This exquisite antique Karabagh rug, dating to the late 19th century, is a masterclass in Caucasian weaving influenced by European aesthetics, particularly French Aubusson and Savonnerie styles. The rug's expansive field is set against a deep, inky navy-blue background, richly adorned with a lush profusion of florals in jewel tones—ruby red, rose, blush, cream, pistachio, and celadon green—intertwined with scrolling baroque-style golden arabesques. Oversized pomegranates and peonies punctuate the composition, symbolizing fertility and abundance, while small blossoms and verdant foliage give the design a layered, naturalistic texture. A wide border, equally opulent, features undulating acanthus leaves, stylized flowers, and elegant rococo curves rendered in soft gold, cream, and crimson. This framing provides a strong visual anchor and amplifies the sophisticated elegance of the central field. Hand-knotted in fine wool, the rug showcases a plush pile and deep coloration, both hallmarks of high-quality Karabagh craftsmanship. Striking a balance between Old World grandeur and decorative exuberance, this rare piece is perfect for adding richness and drama to classic, eclectic, or artfully curated interiors. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
