About the Item

This 19th-century Lenkoran rug from the Talish region showcases one of the most distinctive designs in Caucasian weaving: the large turtle medallions that occupy the center of the field. Each medallion—rendered in deep blues, terracotta reds, and soft greens—is framed by stylized animals, rosebud motifs, and geometric forms that reflect the symbolic vocabulary of the South Caucasus. The palette is rich yet harmonious, with naturally dyed wool that has aged beautifully, giving the piece depth and warmth. The proportions of the rug, including its uncommon width, add to its visual presence, making it especially suitable for placement as a statement piece in a living room, study, or gallery setting. Handwoven with resilient wool and a tight, balanced construction, this Lenkoran rug offers both durability and decorative sophistication. Its strong graphic structure pairs effortlessly with contemporary, traditional, and eclectic interiors, bringing a sense of heritage, artistry, and quiet power to any space.
