About the Item
61513 Antique Caucasian Karabakh Rug, 04'02 x 06'01. Woven in the early 20th century within the storied Caucasian region of Karabakh, this hand-knotted wool rug embodies the quiet grandeur and spiritual gravitas for which the area’s finest textiles are revered. The directional mihrab layout—historically linked to devotion, protection, and the sanctity of space—immediately establishes this piece as something more than décor. Its soft red tonal field glows like the interior of a lantern, creating an atmosphere of warmth and cultivated sophistication that feels perfectly suited to a collector’s residence or a curated gallery environment.
At the heart of the exclusive composition rests an exquisitely articulated center medallion, anchored by pendants at each end in a manner reminiscent of princely insignia. The medallion’s delicate arabesques and subtly faceted geometry lend the rug a stately refinement, while its quiet symmetry balances the more exuberant tribal elements surrounding it. Enhancing this rare structure are six magnificent peacocks, each rendered with intentional prominence. In Caucasian weaving, the peacock symbolizes immortality, divine beauty, and elevated status—making their presence a poetic gesture toward prestige and aspiration.
Dark brown corner spandrels embellished with Herati motifs further enrich the composition, offering a sophisticated contrast to the glowing red field. These spandrels—densely patterned yet perfectly balanced—frame the central design with an architectural solidity, evoking the carved stonework and ornamental arches of historic Karabakh sanctuaries. Their interplay of color and form grounds the composition in classic Persian-Caucasian aesthetic traditions, underscoring the weaver’s mastery and artistic vision.
Encasing the exquisite work of art is a dynamic tribal border, its rhythmic geometry flanked by an outer rosette border that softens the edges with floral symbolism. Together, these borders act as a ceremonial enclosure—asserting the rug’s importance while enhancing its visual harmony. For collectors and tastemakers drawn to textiles that marry cultural symbolism with exquisite craftsmanship, this Karabakh mihrab rug stands as a singular acquisition. It embodies rarity, narrative depth, and the timeless prestige of a region whose finest works remain coveted across generations.
