Antique Rustic Geometric Tribal Caucasian Late 19th Century Square Shirvan Rug

Antique Caucasian 1890s Square Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional Square textile is a vibrant example of late 19th-century weaving, characterized by the bold geometry and saturated dyes typical of the region. It stands as a testament to the enduring artistry found in the finest antique rugs collected today. The field is dominated by horizontal bands filled with highly stylized, stepped polygons and latch-hook motifs, creating a dynamic, repetitive structure. Unlike centralized medallion formats, this Square piece utilizes an allover pattern that draws the eye across the entire composition, emphasizing the weaver's masterful control over complex tribal iconography. A striking palette of warm terracotta and deep madder red serves as the primary ground color, sharply contrasted by brilliant accents of sky blue, indigo, and oxidized black-brown.
