Antique Coral Caucasian - Shirvan Caucasian Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of shirvan rugs showcases the finest characteristics of early 20th-century weaving from the Caucasus region. The strong, saturated coral color palette and precise knotting confirm its status among desirable antique rugs. The field is dominated by a rich, oxidized coral, providing a powerful contrast to the dense, tribal motifs scattered throughout. The composition is highly structured, featuring a central dark indigo panel flanked by two large, stepped star medallions, all executed in a strictly geometric design. A careful study of the palette reveals the use of naturally dyed wools, where deep navy and forest green are balanced by accents of soft gold and the faded ivory and beige tones used for outlining the main motifs.
