Distinguished by its exceptional camel hair field—among the rarest grounds found in Shirvan weaving—this piece stands apart from the more commonly encountered dark indigo examples traditionally associated with Perpedil rugs.
The composition is framed by a beautifully articulated geometric border rendered in soft ivory tones, creating an elegant contrast against the warm, earthy camel hair foundation. Subtle accents of green enhance the tribal geometry, lending depth and visual rhythm to the design. The palette reflects the masterful use of hand-spun wool and natural vegetable dyes, prized for their tonal nuance and enduring character.
This rug presents a naturally worn, “shabby chic” aesthetic that speaks to its age, authenticity, and honest use over generations. Far from detracting, the patina enhances its visual poetry and underscores the extraordinary craftsmanship of Caucasian village weavers working in the mountainous regions of the Caucasus.
