About the Item
This mid 19th century Shirvan rug from the Caucasus is an exceptional example of the regions refined weaving tradition, celebrated for its clarity of design, vibrant natural dyes, and precise craftsmanship.
The rug features a luminous yellow field, a characteristic yet relatively rare color choice in Shirvan weavings. The field is filled with an intricate arrangement of geometric floral motifs, stylized rosettes, eight-pointed stars, and angular leaf forms, all organized in a harmonious repeating pattern. These motifs reflect the artistic vocabulary of the Shirvan region, known for its balance between tribal energy and meticulous geometric structure.
Framing the central panel is a series of multiple borders, including a bold white-ground border decorated with hooked motifs, serrated leaves, and abstract animal-like forms, all woven in rich shades of red, blue, and indigo. The combination of crisp outlines and saturated vegetable dyes gives the rug a vibrant, lively aesthetic.
With its elegant proportions, fine knotting, and sophisticated geometric ornamentation, this Shirvan rug stands as a distinguished example of Caucasian textile art. It embodies both the nomadic spirit and the artistic precision that make mid-19th-century Shirvan pieces highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs.
