Antique Caucasian Coral 1870s Rug, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional example of a Caucasian weaving tradition dates to the late 19th century. Its robust construction and saturated natural dyes mark it as a fine specimen among antique rugs from the Transcaucasia region.
The field is dominated by a rich, deeply dyed madder red, which provides a dramatic contrast to the navy blue and ivory secondary elements. The specific hue leans toward a vibrant coral color, a sought-after shade that lends warmth and depth to the intricate patterning.
The composition is highly structured, featuring a central stepped medallion anchored by complex, stylized forms. This piece is a masterful display of the regional preference for bold, highly abstracted geometric rugs, where every motif carries symbolic weight derived from tribal history.
Presented in a desirable small scatter size, this rug offers versatility for placement in sophisticated interiors, serving as a powerful focal point or an accent piece. The wool quality remains excellent, preserving the clarity of the 1870s design and the integrity of its historical provenance.
Condition: Good. Repaired.
