Antique Shirvan Rug

This exceptional rug was handwoven in the mid-19th century in the Shirvan region of the Eastern Caucasus, an area celebrated for its rich weaving tradition. Shirvan rugs are renowned for their fine craftsmanship, tight knotting, and striking geometric designs, making them among the most collectible pieces of Caucasian weaving.

The deep navy field is adorned with a series of geometric medallions and colorful panels, harmoniously arranged in a balanced composition. The vibrant palette of red, blue, green, and ivory showcases the enduring brilliance of natural dyes, which remain vivid even after more than a century. The multi-panel layout combines various geometric forms, creating both symmetry and visual dynamism.

Wide borders decorated with diagonal stripes and stylized floral motifs add rhythm and depth to the design. This characteristic arrangement reflects Shirvan’s distinctive weaving style—dense, detailed, yet always balanced.

Handwoven from high-quality wool and colored with natural vegetable dyes, this rug stands as both a historic collectible and a decorative masterpiece that brings strong character and artistic presence to any interior.
