This piece is profoundly inspired by antique tribal prayer mats of Caucasian provenance, offering a richly detailed textile that captures the powerful geometry and distinct iconography of the region.

On the Design:

This rug is a masterful textile tribute to the geometry of prayer and the rich palette of Caucasian provenance. It features the iconic mihrab arch, which opens to frame a field of astonishing visual density.

The entire field glows with a warm, pervasive mustard gold, acting as the canvas for an all-over, rhythmic scattering of geometric paisley motifs.

These stylized, geometric forms, rendered in brick red, sky blue, and cream, are reminiscent of tribal talismans, lending the rug a formal yet intensely tribal character. Above the field, the arch itself is detailed with geometric patterning.

Admirers of the craft will know paisley patterns among the particular court of floral designs often used to showcase a weaver’s skill for repetition and fine detail, with this modern tribute to a classic beautifully recapturing that intention in its own fashion.

The field is crowned by the arch and bordered by complex guard bands featuring repeating pictorial tribal figures—a parade of simplified animal motifs that lend a lively narrative counterpoint to the central formality.

It’s an intentional contribution to a classic for a more contemporary level of comfort, and one of the many beauties that makes the Burano Collection a sophisticated, smart new language in design. See less
