AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We present a Caucasian Shirvan rug from Dagestan (Russia), made in the mid-20th century, roughly between 1950 and 1960.
The rug is hand-knotted with ultra-high-quality wool on a cotton base, using a symmetrical knot.
The wool is very fine, bright, and incredibly soft to the touch, with an exceptional finish reminiscent of silk, demonstrating a top-tier material selection and meticulous craftsmanship.
The design belongs to the Shirvan tradition, with a balanced and elegant composition, characteristic of the Caucasian school. It features excellent definition of the pattern and colors well preserved for its age.
The piece is in very good condition, with uniform pile, well-finished edges, and original fringes.
