A 19th‑century Armenian hand‑knotted rug of Armenian origin, measuring 216 × 113 cm.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


This remarkable 19th-century Armenian carpet is an authentic and decorative piece of textile history. It was handwoven in the Caucasus and features the typical geometric motifs, warm earth tones, and vibrant accents that are so characteristic of antique Armenian textiles. The combination of diamond medallions, traditional hook motifs, and the unique color balance gives the carpet a striking visual presence, even after more than a hundred years of use.

With a size of 216 × 113 cm, it is an elegant, narrow room or corridor rug that adds a distinctive character to both classic and modern interiors. The slim proportions and rhythmic pattern also make it very suitable as a wall tapestry or decorative accent piece.

This is not a perfectly restored museum piece, but an honest, well-worn survivor from the 19th century. The rug shows clear signs of age: worn spots, old moth damage (no longer active), and a historical patch in the center. These signs of use emphasize its authenticity and tell the story of a long life as a nomadic and traditionally used rug. The overall appearance has a charming, rustic look that is loved by collectors of antique Caucasian and Armenian textile art.

For enthusiasts of original, unpolished antique rugs, this is a prime opportunity to acquire a rare and characterful piece. Despite the wear, it still carries the full story of its origin, craftsmanship, and history — exactly what makes such pieces so desirable in interior styling and among collectors.
