Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug

Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug

This striking antique Caucasian Shirvan rug is a beautiful example of traditional village weaving, celebrated for its crisp geometric design and vibrant natural colours. Originating from the Shirvan region of the Caucasus, it reflects the distinctive artistry and craftsmanship for which these rugs are highly regarded.

The central field features bold stepped medallions and angular motifs arranged in a balanced composition, framed by multiple intricately patterned borders. A rich palette of terracotta, deep indigo, ivory, and soft blue creates contrast and visual depth, while the finely detailed motifs demonstrate the precision of skilled handweaving.

Woven in wool using traditional techniques, the rug has a durable yet supple texture. Its balanced proportions make it ideal for a living room, study, bedroom, or as a statement piece layered within a larger space. Subtle variations in tone and weave highlight its authenticity and antique character.
