This beautiful antique 1880s Caucasian rug is a true masterpiece of handwoven artistry, originating from the Caucasus Mountains in the north of Persia. The field of the rug is adorned with linear tribal motifs, including the eight-pointed star, which symbolizes happiness and fertility. These motifs are thoughtfully arranged in a way that is pleasing to the eye and gives the rug a sense of harmony and balance.
The numerous border bands of the rug include dainty heart motifs, more eight-pointed stars, and other tribal motifs. These intricate patterns serve as a frame for the field of the rug and add to its overall beauty and elegance. What's truly impressive about this piece is the way the wool has been dyed using natural resources like plants, flowers, and vegetables, making each color and pattern truly unique.
Despite its age, this rug is in pretty good condition, with only one area that has been scuffed and repaired (please see pics for full character and condition). This is a testament to the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship that went into creating this truly wonderful piece. With pops of color from random changes in dyed wool, this beauty is a one-of-a-kind and will bring charm, style, and cultural heritage to any space it lives in.
