A striking c. 1900 rug from the Caucasus, with a subtle variation in tone across its cornflower blue field.
ABOUT
Antique Shirvan rugs are among the most highly sought-after Caucasian weavings, renowned for a nuanced, complex style that sets them apart from other rugs from the region. These pieces are extraordinarily finely woven, showcasing richly detailed motifs, borrowed from ancient tribal symbols, with an expressive, playful character and bold natural dyed colours.
This example, dating to c. 1900, features a wonderful abrash – or colour variation – across its field, which ranges from cornflower to duck egg blues. Its composition is also unusually balanced and open, lending the work a strikingly modern feel, given its age.
In very good to excellent condition, this fine accent rug would make a welcome addition to a variety of interiors.
