Antique Caucasian - Shirvan Wool Ivory Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece represents the finest weaving traditions of the Caucasus region, specifically attributed to the Shirvan district. Its highly geometric field design, characterized by stepped medallions and sharp cruciform elements, is typical of the nomadic artistry found in antique rugs from this period. The palette is dominated by a luminous, warm ivory ground, which provides a sophisticated contrast to the rich, deep browns and subtle accents of madder red and indigo blue. The use of high-quality wool ensures both durability and a soft sheen, highlighting the intricate detail of the tribal motifs scattered throughout the central axis and the complex, repeating border structure.
