Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug

This antique Karadja rug, dating to circa 1900, is a fine example of north-west Persian village weaving, known for its robust structure and intricate geometric design. Woven in wool on a cotton foundation, it features a striking sequence of angular medallions set against a richly detailed field filled with tribal motifs. The palette blends deep indigo blues with warm terracotta reds and soft ivory highlights, creating a balanced yet characterful composition. The low pile and areas of gentle wear enhance its authentic vintage appeal, while the strong borders frame the design with clarity and structure. Ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors, this piece offers durability alongside timeless aesthetic value.
