Antique Caucasian Caucasus Allover Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional example of antique rugs from the Maraselli region of the Caucasus features a highly structured, allover geometric design characteristic of prayer formats from this period. The weaving tradition demonstrates a mastery of complex, repeating motifs. The field is dominated by a dense lattice of interconnected diamonds, each containing stylized botanical or animalistic forms rendered in highly abstract, angular shapes. The mihrab arch, delineated in crisp white and serrated edges, creates a focal point that draws the eye upward, typical of the finest Caucasian prayer pieces. A sophisticated palette defines the piece, utilizing rich madder reds, deep indigo, and touches of moss green, all set against a luminous ground of vibrant yellow tones.
