Antique Caucasian Caucasian Blue 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This striking example of authentic Caucasian weaving captures the robust, geometric aesthetic characteristic of the region's nomadic traditions during the late 19th century.

The palette is intensely saturated, centered on a field of deep indigo blue that provides a dramatic contrast to the vibrant terracotta and rust tones of the stepped medallions. These colors, derived from natural dyes, have matured beautifully over time, achieving a rich patina rarely seen in modern textiles.

Despite its small scatter size, the rug features a highly complex structure, utilizing multiple guard borders filled with stylized abstract motifs, including latch-hooks and crosses. The central arrangement, while compartmentalized, creates the visual effect of a dense allover pattern due to the repetition and tight packing of the elements.

This piece is a testament to the enduring artistry of tribal weavers, offering both historical depth and powerful decorative impact. It is a superb acquisition for collectors seeking exceptional antique rugs that possess genuine character and superb condition for their age. See less
