About the Item
This Yerevan rug presents one of the most compelling combinations of symbolic design and refined craftsmanship found in Caucasian weaving. The striking navy field serves as an elegant backdrop for a highly structured Gabistan layout, featuring four mihrab-shaped panels paired with figural elements—human figures arranged in a rhythmic, dance-like sequence reminiscent of traditional ceremonial movements. These details, rarely preserved with such clarity, give the rug an unmistakable narrative presence.
The composition is anchored by a series of geometric rosettes, stylized florals, and protective symbols, all articulated with the precision characteristic of accomplished Shirvan-area artisans. Five surrounding borders—each with its own decorative vocabulary—create a sense of architectural framing, giving the piece weight, balance, and an elevated visual impact in any interior.
What sets this rug apart is its remarkable ability to blend cultural storytelling with sophisticated design: the interplay between the mihrab forms, the figural motifs, and the intricate border system makes it not merely a decorative textile, but a document of regional identity and artistic continuity. The color palette of navy, madder reds, saffron tones, and soft ivory has aged gracefully, offering both depth and warmth.
For the collector or designer, this Yerevan rug offers aesthetic versatility and historical significance in equal measure. Its scale, clarity of drawing, and beautifully preserved wool surface make it ideal for use as a focal point in living rooms, studies, gallery spaces, or as a wall-hung textile where its storytelling elements can be fully appreciated.
This is a piece for those who value cultural depth, technical mastery, and enduring visual sophistication—an artwork woven with intention and preserved for generations.
