Description from the seller
Shirwan Caucasian – 1950s – 219 × 133 cm
Splendid Shirwan Caucasian rug, dating from the 1950s of the 20th century, hand-knotted with wool fleece and cotton warp, in perfect condition.
The rug stands out for the extraordinary richness of the geometric design and for the lively chromatic harmony, expression of the textile tradition of Eastern Caucasus.
The central field, in an intense brick red, hosts three large polygonal medallions arranged along the longitudinal axis, characterized by elaborate geometries in shades of indigo blue, sky blue, ivory, green and ochre.
The composition is embellished with small stylized floral motifs, symmetrically distributed in the field spaces.
Particularly interesting is the complex system of concentric borders, with a succession of geometric rosettes enclosed in small cartouches on a blue background, flanked by secondary ornamental bands.
Tradition and craftsmanship
The Shirwan region, in the Eastern Caucasus, has historically been renowned for handmade knotted carpets characterized by articulated geometric patterns, intense colors, and great ornamental precision.
This specimen reprises the traditional Caucasian decorative repertoire, standing out for its three-medallion composition and the richness of its details.
The wool fleece gives the rug substance and softness, while the cotton warp contributes to the structure's stability.
Condition
The rug is presented in perfect condition, with a well-defined design and vivid colors.
