This exceptional Chondsoresk carpet hails from the mid-1800s and originates from the village of Chondoresh in the Karabagh region of the Caucasus mountains. The field is rendered in a highly desirable abrash green—an uncommon and sought-after color among connoisseurs—surrounded by a vibrant tomato red backdrop that hosts an intricate array of geometric motifs. Delicate and bold shapes in ivory, yellow, pink, red, and various shades of blue are meticulously arranged throughout, reflecting the sophisticated tribal artistry of the era. This carpet is a remarkable example of 19th-century Caucasian craftsmanship and beauty.
