Antique Shirvan Caucasian Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece represents the enduring tribal aesthetic of the Caucasus region. Woven during the early 20th century, it showcases the intricate, precise geometry characteristic of antique rugs from the Shirvan district, where master weavers traditionally employed highly symbolic, abstract designs. The central field utilizes a repeating lattice structure filled with highly stylized botanical or abstract tribal symbols, rendered in sharp, dark tones against a luminous yellow ground. This sophisticated use of negative space emphasizes the meticulous knotting technique, typical of small scatter size rugs intended for domestic use, where portability and durability were paramount. The palette is grounded by a warm, yellow-hued field, providing a striking contrast to the saturated secondary tones.
