About the Item

In the early 20th century, the Prepadil Shirvan rug emerged as a captivating expression of artistry and cultural heritage. Originating from the Shirvan region of Azerbaijan, this rug captivates with its unique blend of tradition and innovation. At its heart lies a mesmerizing blue field, evoking the vastness of the Caspian Sea under a clear morning sky. The deep azure hue of the field serves as a canvas for the intricate designs that adorn the rug's surface. Woven with skillful precision, these patterns tell stories of a bygone era, capturing the imagination with their rich symbolism and cultural significance. Amidst the expanse of blue, one may discern subtle motifs depicting scenes of daily life, mythological creatures, and celestial symbols, each imbued with layers of meaning and tradition. Bordering this captivating field is a delicate ivory border, adorned with small designs of animals and people. Here, the artisan's mastery is evident in the intricacy of the motifs, each rendered with exquisite detail and precision. Miniature figures dance and frolic amidst floral motifs, their movements seemingly frozen in time, while animals roam freely, imbuing the border with a sense of vitality and energy. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these small designs serve as windows into a world steeped in folklore and tradition. Each figure, each creature, carries with it a tale of wisdom and wonder, inviting the viewer to delve deeper into the cultural tapestry of the Shirvan region.
