$8,900.00

Late 19th-century Caucasian area rug from the renowned Shirvan village in the Azerbaijan region of the Southern Caucasus. Woven in the fourth quarter of the 1800s, it showcases the intricate geometry and bold coloration that define the finest Shirvan weavings.

The rug features three prominent diamond medallions in ivory and orange, dramatically set against a rich navy blue field. The sharp contrast of the ivory diamonds against the dark background creates a visually captivating composition, reflecting both balance and vibrancy.

Adding further charm are the corner spandrels in a soft pale plum, each adorned with abstract geometric motifs that subtly resemble stylized face forms—an element of whimsical character and cultural intrigue. The entire design is framed by an ivory border, intricately patterned with geometric figures in yellow, brown, and navy, lending a harmonious and grounded finish to the piece.

Woven with natural dyes and high-quality wool, this Shirvan rug is a testament to the artistry and symbolism of the Caucasian weaving tradition, offering a timeless, collectible piece that enriches any interior with history and design sophistication.
