About the Item

78996 Distressed Antique Caucasian Shirvan Kilim Rug, 02'10 x 03'08. This handwoven wool distressed antique Caucasian Shirvan kilim rug, crafted in the late 19th century during the 1880s, is a remarkable testament to the enduring craftsmanship and cultural heritage of the Shirvan region. Woven by nomadic tribes from the southern Caucasus, this tribal flatweave rug is imbued with symbolic motifs that reflect the spiritual beliefs and natural surroundings of its weavers. Despite its distressed condition, the wear only adds to its historical charm, telling the story of a textile that has withstood the test of time, accumulating character and authenticity along its journey. The central design features bold geometric design, rendered in classic Shirvan hues of red and blue. These hexagonal medallions are arranged within horizontal bands that also showcase diamonds, concentric lozenges, S-hooks, and crosses. These esoteric tribal motifs represent guardianship, and the cyclical flow of life and serve as spiritual protection for the home. Even though the Caucasian kilim rug shows visible wear, the integrity of the design and its symbolic meaning remain clear, offering a window into the cultural practices of the Shirvan weavers during the 1880s. The color palette, achieved through the use of natural vegetable dyes, features deep reds, blues, and earthy tones that have softened with age, lending the antique Caucasian rug a warm, worn patina that enhances its antique allure. The areas of visible wear highlight its past, showing that this piece was not only decorative but functional in everyday life. Its flatweave construction, characteristic of Shirvan kilims, ensured its durability, allowing it to endure over a century of use while maintaining its structural integrity. This distressed antique Caucasian Shirvan kilim rug from the 1880's is more than just a piece of decor—it's a historical artifact rich with cultural significance. Its worn areas tell the story of a journey through time, elevating it as both a functional textile and a work of art. Whether displayed on the floor or as a wall hanging, this kilim brings with it a deep sense of history, nomadic elegance, and craftsmanship. Its imperfections are a testament to its resilience, making it a captivating piece that resonates with both collectors and those who appreciate the beauty of timeworn artistry. Distressed. Age Wear.
