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 exceptionally high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, using a symmetrical knot.
The wool is very fine, bright, and extremely soft to the touch, with an exceptional finish reminiscent of silk, which demonstrates a top-tier material selection and very careful craftsmanship.
The design belongs to the Shirvan tradition, with a balanced and elegant composition, characteristic of the Caucasian school. It shows excellent definition of the pattern and colors well preserved for its age.
The piece is in very good condition, with even pile, well-finished edges, and original fringe.
