About the Item
Karabakh Rug with Scenery and Inscriptions – A Rare Piece of Storytelling Art
This extraordinary Karabakh rug from the Caucasus region stands out not only for its intricate craftsmanship but for its narrative scene – a woven tableau that tells a visual story. Measuring 135 x 205 cm, the piece merges folk art with textile tradition, offering collectors and connoisseurs a truly unique example of historical weaving.
The central panel illustrates a rustic countryside scene: figures stand beside a saddled horse, surrounded by chickens, birds, and village motifs like trees and houses. The figures' attire and the animals evoke rural life in the 19th or early 20th century Caucasus. What elevates this rug further is the detailed script – Persian and Cyrillic inscriptions run around the borders, adding a literary dimension and hinting at historical or poetic content.
The bold floral border in rich reds, oranges, and greens frames the central composition with a vibrancy typical of Karabakh aesthetics. Every inch of this piece reflects cultural memory, making it not just a decorative object, but a historic artifact. Ideal for collectors of rare narrative rugs or ethnographic textiles, this Karabakh rug is both a conversation piece and a museum-worthy treasure. The measurement of this piece is 135 x 205 cm.
