About the Item
Antique Karabagh Rug
Size: 7'5" × 12'2" (226 × 370 cm).
This richly ornamental antique Karabagh rug is a vibrant example of early 20th-century Caucasian textile artistry influenced by European aesthetics—specifically the Rococo and Romantic traditions. Woven in the culturally diverse region of Karabagh, the rug combines local wool-weaving expertise with bold florals and scrolling vine motifs reminiscent of French Aubusson or Savonnerie carpets.
The composition is dominated by lush, oversized floral motifs—including stylized roses, tulips, and pomegranates—interwoven with ornate scrolling arabesques. These swirling acanthus-like forms are executed in warm tones of gold, caramel, and rosewood, unfurling across a deep black field that adds striking contrast and drama.
The symmetrical layout is dense yet organized, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. Floral clusters fill the negative space with abundant detail, giving the impression of a blooming garden caught in motion. The corner flourishes and central vertical alignment lend structure to the lavish composition.
This piece showcases a rich and nuanced palette: ground - deep black, serving as a bold canvas, ornaments - shades of terracotta, rose, peach, crimson, pistachio green, ivory, and amber.
Woven by hand with high-quality wool on a wool foundation, this Karabagh carpet exemplifies the durable yet luxurious character of early 20th-century workshop production. The precision of the weave and the clarity of the motifs suggest experienced craftsmanship, likely intended for aristocratic or affluent clientele.
Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
