Antique Caucasian Caucasian 1930s Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasus, Circa Date: 1930s. This striking piece belongs to our collection of exceptional antique rugs, showcasing the raw, powerful aesthetic characteristic of the region. Woven in the mountainous region of the Caucasian rugs, this textile employs a highly saturated palette of madder red and deep indigo, colors long favored by nomadic weavers for their dramatic contrast.

The design is anchored by a series of large, stepped geometric medallions rendered in rich navy blue, which stand out sharply against the vibrant red field. These bold, blocky forms are quintessential to the traditional Caucasian style, reflecting a tribal heritage where symbolism and angular abstraction dominate the visual language.

While the central motifs are prominent, the overall composition utilizes an allover geometric design structure, ensuring visual interest across the entire surface. The field is populated with repeating hooked elements, stylized crosses, and minor motifs that fill the negative space, creating a dense, protective layer of pattern typical of early 20th-century tribal production.

Despite its age, the wool retains excellent luster and the knotting is firm, confirming the robust craftsmanship of the 1930s. Its practical dimensions make it an ideal choice among scatter size rugs, perfect for adding a foundational layer of historical texture and saturated color to a modern interior. See less
