Antique Caucasian - Caucasus Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of 19th-century weaving from the Zeichur region of the Caucasus Mountains represents the pinnacle of tribal textile art. It is a vital piece within the history of antique rugs, showcasing the technical precision and bold design sensibilities characteristic of the Quba district. The densely packed field features the characteristic stylized rosette or "Zeichur blossom" motif, arranged in a highly structured grid. This geometric repetition creates a striking allover pattern that maximizes visual density and impact, typical of the finest nomadic and village weavings from the late 19th century. The palette is remarkably vibrant, showcasing the masterful use of natural dyes prevalent in the late 1800s.
