Info :

The antique Caucasian Shirvan rug is a high-quality hand-knotted rug from the Shirvan region in the eastern Caucasus (modern-day Azerbaijan). These rugs date from the 19th and early 20th centuries and are known for their fine, dense knots, geometric patterns, and 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: Common colors include 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 texture.

Border: The borders are typically richly decorated with Caucasian symbols, including hooked motifs (amulets), wavy lines (watermarks), and rosettes.

Meaning & Rarity
Antique Shirvan rugs are highly sought after today, as they are among the finest Caucasian carpets. They were produced in small villages, often with individual patterns, which makes each rug unique. Especially valuable are well-preserved pieces with clear patterning and strong natural colors.
