Doris Leslie Blau Antique Russian Karabagh Hand-Knotted Wool Rug

About the Item

Antique Russian Karabagh Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Size: 6'9" × 15'5" (205 × 469 cm) Exuding old-world charm and a sophisticated sense of artistry, this antique Russian Karabagh rug is a remarkable example of Caucasian textile craftsmanship. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the piece showcases a richly nuanced tonal palette of warm sepia, soft taupe, and chocolate brown, creating a stunningly distressed aesthetic that evokes both heritage and refinement. The design features a grand, flowing all-over pattern of scrolling floral and foliate motifs, reminiscent of French Aubusson carpets, yet interpreted with the distinctive graphic sensibility of the Caucasus. These organically abstracted florals appear to dissolve into the field, lending the composition an atmospheric and painterly quality. Subtle abrash throughout adds depth and texture, enhancing the rug’s vintage allure. A classic border of stylized blossoms and arabesques frames the central design, executed in a delicate linear style that provides contrast and compositional structure. Despite its age, the rug retains a graceful balance and rhythm, making it suitable for both traditional and eclectic interiors. With its substantial size, warm earth tones, and rare fusion of European elegance and regional folk artistry, this Karabagh rug is more than a floor covering—it is a timeless statement of textile heritage and decorative excellence. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
