AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We present a Caucasian Shirvan rug from Dagestan (Russia), made in the mid-20th century, approximately between 1950-1960.
The rug is hand-knotted with extremely high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, using a symmetric knot. The wool is very fine, bright, and incredibly soft to the touch, with an exceptional finish that recalls silk, demonstrating 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 uniform pile, neatly finished edges, and original fringes.
