Antique Caucasus Allover Geometric Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional piece, originating from the weaving traditions of Caucasus, showcases the powerful, graphic tribal aesthetics prevalent in the region during this period. The field is dominated by a dense, highly structured allover pattern of interconnected geometric lozenges and stepped motifs. Size 4’6″ x 8’0″ Format: rectangular, long
The palette is remarkably rich, with a vibrant red ground color, strongly contrasting with the graphic precision of the motifs, creating a striking visual rhythm across the entire composition. The primary ground hue falls within the desirable range of warm madder red tones, indicative of high-quality, naturally derived dyes.
Hand-knotted with durable wool pile, this piece retains remarkable structural integrity considering its age, dating back to the 1880s. The enduring quality and sophisticated tribal geometry confirm its status as a highly collectible antique rug suitable for discerning interior design projects.
While many Caucasian pieces are woven in square or standard area sizes, the elongated format of this weaving makes it an ideal accent rug (4.04ft x 8ft). Its commanding presence and bold red color story make it perfectly suited for defining a gallery space or adding historical depth to a transitional area.
