Antique Caucasian Long Rug, Ivory Tribal Geometric, 1880s

A late 19th-century antique Caucasian kellegi rug, The piece measures approximately 3'9" × 8'3" (per the seller listing), a long-narrow proportion that has made antique Caucasian carpets in this size particularly sought after as runners, entry rugs, and accent pieces in collected interiors. The composition is described as a tribal geometric design on an ivory ground — a lighter, cleaner field than the more familiar deep-red and indigo Caucasian carpets of the same era, and one that makes the rug a stronger fit for rooms with neutral or natural-toned palettes. The Caucasus region's village and tribal traditions produced thousands of distinctive hand-knotted wool carpets through the 19th century, and Caucasian rugs from the 1880s are now well over 140 years old. Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
