Antique Caucasian - Shirvan Caucasus Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of weaving from the Shirvan region of the Caucasus Mountains represents the pinnacle of late 19th-century tribal artistry. Its age and provenance confirm its status as a highly collectible antique rug. The field is structured by a mesmerizing geometric lattice, featuring repeating diamond medallions interspersed with highly stylized boteh and abstract floral forms. While the top features a subtle mihrab element, the overall composition utilizes an allover pattern structure, ensuring visual depth and continuity across the entire surface. The palette is defined by the striking contrast between the rich, saturated indigo ground and the natural ivory and camel tones of the motifs.
