The Antique Caucasian - Shirvan Caucasian 1880s Rug is an exceptional example of late 19th-century craftsmanship from the eastern Caucasus region. This hand-knotted wool runner features a sophisticated geometric pattern with repeating octagonal medallions set against a deep, dark ground. Its rich palette includes madder reds, deep indigo, and flashes of ivory and ochre, all achieved through high-quality natural dyes. The dense allover design is framed by a striking ivory border with stylized floral elements, providing a beautiful contrast. With a 0.5-inch pile height, this durable mountain weaving is perfectly suited for use as a hallway runner, anchoring long corridors with historical elegance and tribal precision. This highly collectible piece represents a significant part of textile history, offering an authentic and well-preserved addition to any modern interior.
