About the Item
78997 Distressed Antique Caucasian Shirvan Kilim Rug, 02'11 x 03'06. Embark on a compelling journey with this handwoven wool distressed antique Caucasian Shirvan kilim rug from the late 19th century, a piece that exudes the rugged beauty and nomadic charm of the Shirvan weaving tradition. This weathered tribal kilim, with its vibrant colors and intricate designs, tells the story of a people deeply connected to the land and to their heritage. The allover geometric design, composed of wide and narrow horizontal bands, is decorated with a variety of ambiguous motifs and tribal symbols that speak to the Shirvan people’s beliefs in protection, fertility, and good fortune.
At the heart of this kilim are the striking stepped hexagonal medallions, adorned with scorpion motifs, believed to provide protection, and Elibelinde (Hands on Hips) symbols, representing motherhood and fertility. These symbols are complemented by Bereket motifs, further reinforcing the theme of fertility. Cross motifs, scattered across the field, serve as a powerful defense against the evil eye, with the belief that the cross can divide and reduce its harmful influence. The Goz eye symbols, also woven into the design, are another layer of protection, thought to be the best defense against malevolent forces.
Beyond the central medallions, the field is ornamented with thin stripes embellished with bird motifs, symbols of good luck and hope. These delicate elements bring a sense of life and movement to the kilim, as if the birds are ready to take flight, carrying the blessings of fortune with them. Alongside these motifs are wolf’s mouth symbols, representing protection from wolves and invoking the courage and strength needed to overcome adversities. Every thread in this Caucasian kilim feels like a whisper from the past, each symbol woven with care and intention, creating a rich canvas of meaning and tradition.
This distressed antique Shirvan kilim is more than just a rug—it's a storyteller. Its worn and weathered texture adds to its allure, inviting you to embrace its laid-back luxury and masculine appeal. Whether gracing the floor of a rustic cabin or bringing a touch of relaxed refinement to an urban retreat, this weathered Caucasian kilim resonates with echoes of ancient tales and adventures yet to unfold. As you step onto its soft wool surface, you are not only adding a decorative element to your space but also becoming part of the ongoing narrative of this captivating tribal flatweave carpet.
