About the Item

Antique Caucasian Rug, circa 1900 Size: 4'6" × 7'7" (137 × 231 cm). This captivating antique Caucasian rug, woven around 1900, is a masterful expression of tribal artistry and geometric precision. The design is built on a striking lattice of large diamond-shaped medallions arranged in a meticulous grid format—each filled with stepped motifs and densely packed miniature forms. These diamonds alternate in subtle tonal variations, creating a rhythmic visual flow across the entire field. The palette is a rich interplay of deep rust, terracotta, indigo, ivory, and muted ochre—earthy tones that evoke the rugged Caucasus landscape. A wide variety of traditional tribal elements are packed into the background and borders, including hooked motifs, intricate crosshatching, and tiny rosettes. These details are emblematic of the region’s nomadic weavers and their symbolic language, believed to offer protection and blessings to the home. Framing the composition is a multi-tiered border featuring rows of diagonally arranged diamonds and star motifs, enhancing the symmetry and giving the piece a balanced and grounded aesthetic. The borders themselves are thick and intricately constructed, showcasing expert weft and knot work. Woven entirely by hand using high-quality wool, this rug not only embodies artistic tradition but also practical durability. Its tight weave and crisp patterns suggest it was made by an experienced artisan from one of the renowned weaving centers of the Caucasus, likely a tribal group from the southern regions. With its bold geometry and tribal authenticity, this rug makes a compelling statement in both classic and modern interiors—ideal for those who appreciate history woven into design. Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau Collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
