Info :


The antique Caucasian Shirvan rug is a high-quality, hand-knotted rug from the Shirvan region in the eastern Caucasus (today's Azerbaijan). These rugs originate from the 19th and early 20th centuries and are known for their fine, dense knots, their geometric patterns, and their harmonious color palette.

Features of a Shirvan rug:
Pattern: Shirvan rugs are characterized by intricate, symmetrical patterns with medallions, stylized flowers, diamonds, and abstract animal motifs.

Colors: Commonly used colors are red, blue, green, ivory, and yellow, often derived from natural plant and mineral dyes.

Material: These rugs are usually made of hand-spun wool on a cotton or wool warp, giving them a fine, durable structure.

Border: The borders are usually richly decorated with Caucasian symbols, including hooked motifs (protective symbols), wavy lines (water marks), and rosettes.

Meaning & Rarity
Ancient Shirvan rugs are highly sought after today, as they belong to the finest Caucasian rugs. They were produced in small villages, often with unique patterns, which makes each rug one of a kind. Particularly valuable are well-preserved pieces with clear patterns and vivid natural colors.
