This exceptional mid-19th century Caucasian Karabagh gallery rug features one of the rarest and most sought-after field colors in antique rug weaving: a luminous pistachio green. The softly abrash pistachio green and earthy brown field is animated by a dynamic allover geometric medallion design, rendered in harmonious tones of deep blue, emerald green, brick red, warm brown, and soft golden yellow. The composition is framed by a richly saturated dark brown primary border, intricately decorated with multicolored geometric motifs that provide striking contrast and depth. The rug displays a naturally aged patina, the result of more than a century and half of history and use.
