Antique Caucasian Small Scatter Size Wool Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century piece exemplifies the robust, highly saturated aesthetic of Caucasian weaving traditions. Its dense, dark brown field provides a dramatic backdrop for the powerful, stylized motifs executed in rust red, soft blue, and ivory.

The composition features an allover geometric design defined by interlocking diamond lattices. Within these diamonds, highly abstract forms—often interpreted as stylized birds or ancient fertility symbols—are rendered with striking precision, showcasing the weaver's masterful control over tribal iconography.

The palette is grounded in natural dyes, lending the wool a deep, rich patina characteristic of the period. Its compact dimensions classify it as a desirable small scatter size, perfect for an entryway or as an accent piece layered over larger floor coverings.

Retaining excellent pile and structural integrity after more than a century, this rug is a testament to the enduring quality of nomadic weaving. It represents a significant find for collectors seeking authentic, high-quality antique rugs from the Caucasus region. See less
