Red Antique Caucasian - Karabagh Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of Karabagh rugs showcases the robust, geometric artistry characteristic of the South Caucasus region. Woven in the early 20th century, the piece retains a powerful visual integrity, making it a compelling addition to any collection of antique rugs. The field is dominated by a rich, madder red ground, upon which a sequence of highly stylized octagonal medallions are arranged. These central motifs are framed by intricate stepped outlines and filled with complex tribal iconography. The arrangement creates a striking, vertically oriented allover rugs pattern, a sophisticated structure often employed in Caucasian weaving traditions. Executed in a narrow, elongated format, this piece functions perfectly as a long and narrow rug.
