AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description: Charming antique Caucasian Shirwan rug, probably Armenian-inscribed. Hand-knotted in wool, finely detailed geometric composition. The field is articulated by a sequence of striking geometric medallions, surrounded by numerous stylised floral and abstract motifs. The rich palette combines deep madder red, indigo blue, ivory, ochre, brown and muted green tones. The intricate borders display traditional Caucasian geometric ornamentation and repeated floral elements. Several motifs appear to incorporate cross-like and highly stylised symbolic forms, characteristic of some Armenian-associated Caucasian weaving traditions. The upper section appears to possibly contain a woven date, although the exact reading remains uncertain. The designs show affinities with published Shirwan Hexagon columns examples in Ian Bennett, Caucasian rug, p. 256
Dimensions: approximately 220 x 120 cm
Age: end 19th century - early 20th century
Condition: very good condition. Minimal trace of age
