Size: 4'1" x 4'10"
Origin: Eastern Caucasus (Shirvan / Baku region)
Date: Circa late 19th century
Structure: Hand-knotted wool on wool
A finely drawn and well-balanced antique Shirvan rug, likely of Baku influence, distinguished by its elegant square format and refined geometric composition.
The field is set on a soft camel / sand-colored ground, decorated with a structured arrangement of stylized rosettes, cruciform motifs, and angular medallions, connected by delicate linear devices. The drawing is precise yet fluid, reflecting the more refined village weaving tradition associated with the Shirvan-Baku group.
The palette is particularly attractive and harmonious, featuring soft gold, ivory, indigo blue, madder red, and light turquoise accents, all gently aged to a pleasing, warm tone. The border system is intricate and well-articulated, with a diagonal “running dog” style guard and a classic geometric main border, giving the rug strong visual framing and movement.
