Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and The Early 20th Century Fine Handwoven Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles From Around the World
An extraordinary and rare example of late 19th-century Caucasian weaving, this Shirvan Perpedil area rug originates from the Kuba district in what is now Azerbaijan. Unlike most Perpedil rugs, which typically feature a deep blue ground, this piece is distinguished by its exceptionally rare camel hair field—a prized feature among collectors and connoisseurs.
Woven with a refined geometric composition, the rug displays the Perpedil ram’s horn motifs, symbolic of strength and protection, arranged in a symmetrical, tribal layout. The ivory-toned border showcases classic Caucasian geometric patterns, providing a striking contrast that elevates the rug’s visual balance and artistry.
Though this rug carries a “worn” and time-softened patina often associated with the “Shabby Chic” aesthetic, it retains incredible charm and artistic depth. The quality of handspun wool and natural vegetable dyes speaks to the enduring skill and heritage of the village weavers of the Caucasus Mountains.
