This Antique Caucasian Karabagh kilim features a traditional design typical of the Karabagh region, known for its bold floral motifs and flat-woven construction. The rug presents three vertically aligned floral arrangements, each showcasing a central rose-like bloom surrounded by stylized foliage—an iconic composition rooted in early Karabagh weaving practices.
Originating from the Caucasus, Karabagh kilims have long been valued for their distinct combination of Persian influence and local tribal artistry. Woven by hand using natural wool and plant-based dyes, these kilims were produced for both domestic use and regional trade, often passed down through generations.
This piece exhibits a dark, almost black central field that powerfully offsets the floral elements, making them appear vivid and well-defined. The surrounding border has softened to a khaki-green tone over time, punctuated with colorful floral heads that reflect the original dye work and the rug's age.
A fine example of regional textile heritage, this kilim offers both visual impact and historical depth, ideal for collectors or interiors seeking an authentic Caucasian flat-weave.
