Antique Verneh Caucasian Geometric Flat Weave Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of a Verneh flat weave originates from the Caucasus region, showcasing the complex, non-pile weaving traditions prized by tribal groups. For collectors of antique rugs, this piece represents a high point of 19th-century textile artistry. The field is organized into a rigid, repeating grid of large, rectangular medallions, each filled with intricate, micro-geometric designs, including diamonds and stylized dots. The overall composition is highly structured yet retains the spontaneous, hand-drawn quality characteristic of nomadic weaving. The palette is rich and saturated, featuring deep indigo, madder red, and warm saffron accents, typical of multicolor jewel-tone rugs from this period.
