This antique Caucasian gallery rug is a bold, graphic piece, measuring approximately 5’3” to 5’5” in width by 12’ in length (a natural characteristic of old and handwoven). Its elongated proportions make it ideal for a grand hallway, entry, or any space craving a statement piece.
The field showcases a dynamic interplay of latch-hook diamond medallions, tribal stars, and stylized geometric art, each motif rich with symbolism. The latch-hook diamonds, often associated with protection and strength, anchor the design.
A notable feature is the rug’s abrash—a natural variation in dye shades from different batches of vegetable dyed wool used to weave, transitioning from deep space blue to serene lake blue, adding depth and character to the piece. The low pile and scattered wear speak to its age and authenticity, with more wool preserved in the borders, framing the central design with a robust presence.
Please note, there are two repairs on each side of the borders around the midsection of the rug. These have been carefully restored and are visible in the close-up photos provided, ensuring transparency and preserving the rug’s integrity.
This rug is not just a floor covering; it’s a narrative woven in wool, reflecting the artistry and cultural heritage of its makers. A true collector’s piece that brings history and visual impact to any setting.
