Antique Caucasian Seychour (Shirvan) Rug, c. 1880–1900
Size: 3'8" x 5'7"
A charming and expressive Seychour weaving, distinguished by its lively interplay of sky-blue and ivory reserves set against a deep, contrasting ground. The field is animated with an array of stylized floral rosettes, angular vinery, and small tribal emblems, arranged in a rhythm that feels both spontaneous and balanced—hallmarks of the Seychour aesthetic.
The drawing is crisp yet slightly playful, giving the rug a unique character that sets it apart from more formal Shirvan examples. The borders are bold and graphic, framing the composition with strong geometric motifs in coral, indigo, and soft greens, all enhanced by subtle abrash throughout.
Condition: Very good, with a healthy pile and vibrant, well-preserved colors.
Assessment: A highly decorative and collectible Caucasian rug, prized for its color, individuality, and artistic village drawing.
