Welcome to The Persian Knot Gallery
Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and The Early 20th Century Fine Handwoven Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles From Around the World
This remarkable vintage Persian Tabriz rug features a rare and highly sought-after allover geometric Caucasian Kuba pattern, beautifully rendered in a room-size format. Woven in Northwest Persia during the third quarter of the 20th century, this piece draws inspiration from the celebrated 19th-century Caucasian Kuba and Shirvan Afshan rugs, known for their stylized dragon and blossom motifs.
The rug’s rich navy blue field serves as a dramatic backdrop for its intricate, brightly colored design elements, showcasing tones of green, blue, pink, yellow, and red. A deep, dark red border frames the composition perfectly, enhancing the visual depth and vibrancy of the piece.
The use of bold geometric forms combined with lively, saturated colors results in a truly striking and harmonious design — a testament to the enduring influence of Caucasian tribal artistry on Persian weaving traditions.
Rugs with this particular Afshan pattern are extremely rare, especially among vintage Tabriz carpets. Notably, this rug shares close design affinities with several exceptional pieces in our collection (SKUs 1920, 1858, 1260, and 1261), making it an extraordinary opportunity for collectors, interior designers, and connoisseurs seeking a distinctive and historically significant textile for their interiors.
