Product description
The antique Caucasian Shirvan rug is a high-quality, hand-knotted rug from the Shirvan region in the eastern Caucasus (modern-day Azerbaijan). These rugs date from the 19th and early 20th centuries and are known for their fine, dense knotting, geometric patterns and harmonious color palette.
Characteristics of a Shirvan rug:
Pattern: Shirvan rugs are characterized by intricate, symmetrical patterns with medallions, stylized flowers, diamonds and abstract animal motifs.
Colors: Commonly used colors include red, blue, green, ivory and yellow, often derived from natural plant and mineral dyes.
Material: These rugs are usually made of hand-spun wool on a cotton or wool warp, which gives them a fine, hard-wearing texture.
Border: The borders are usually richly decorated with Caucasian symbols, including hook motifs (protective symbols), wavy lines (watermarks) and rosettes.
