Antique Caucasian Green 1870s Rug, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional example of weaving artistry originates from the Caucasus region, displaying the robust, graphic vernacular typical of the era. The bold, angular motifs are characteristic of Caucasian tribal production, reflecting centuries of tradition and nomadic skill. The palette is particularly striking, centered on a rare, oxidized sage ground—a beautiful example of green color rugs from the 19th century. This subdued field provides a perfect counterpoint to the intense, saturated dyes of the secondary colors, primarily deep madder red and indigo blue, which define the primary geometric medallions and the complex, multi-banded border system. Structurally, the composition is dynamic, utilizing a dense field of repeating, stylized totems and latch-hook diamonds.
