About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool and originating circa 1890-1900, this 12x13 antique Russian rug of Karabagh provenance is both a versatile square design like few of its kind and a rich, royal connoisseur’s piece of the celebrated provenance, among the most powerful new curations from Rug Kilim. On the Design: The expansive field is a profound midnight-blue and charcoal-black, providing a dramatic backdrop for the highly active design. The field is densely populated by an interlocking lattice of stylized, octagonal medallions and repeating geometric floral clusters. These powerful motifs burst forth in jewel tones: vivid crimson, light blue, soft gold, and natural ivory, creating a mesmerizing, three-dimensional visual rhythm. The composition is masterfully contained by a set of complex, multi-layered borders featuring geometric symbols and floral elements, all rendered in deep navy, red, and taupe. Any keen eye for detail will appreciate this approach to traditional design, where the mesmeric density and phenomenal range of colors exhibit the highest skill of the weaver. To wit, the complex, color-rich repeat and dense knotting of this square-format rug is a special find, marrying artistic finesse with a deep, mesmeric and dimensional look that is still sought-after today. Condition: This antique Karabagh rug further enjoys good condition, and is a gorgeous collectible of vast design applications.
