Antique Caucasian Small Scatter Size Wool Green Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of nomadic weaving dates to the late 19th century, representing the finest traditions of antique rugs from the Caucasus region. Its dense, hand-spun wool construction speaks to its enduring quality and tribal authenticity, showcasing a powerful, deeply saturated palette.

The design is characterized by a powerful, almost architectural arrangement of medallions set against the subtly abrash field. These bold, highly stylized motifs are hallmarks of the region's weaving identity, emphasizing the robust and traditional nature of geometric rugs. The composition avoids empty space, filling the background with small, talismanic devices and repeating tribal symbols, typical of the period's spontaneous village artistry.

What distinguishes this piece is the rare and compelling use of a sage or moss green in the main field, a color achieved through natural dyes that has mellowed beautifully over time. This soft, earthy hue provides a striking contrast to the vibrant madder reds and indigo blues used in the central elements, making it a prized addition among collectors of green color rugs.

Woven in a practical, small scatter size rugs format, this piece is perfectly suited for a hallway, bedside placement, or as an accent piece in a study. Its compact dimensions allow for the introduction of significant historical character and saturated color into smaller, defined spaces, offering a unique glimpse into the functional art of 19th-century tribal weavers.
