Description
This extremely finely crafted Caucasian Shirvan rug presents an extraordinarily successful and incredibly cohesive artistic vision. Instead of using the arch format commonly seen in rugs of similar design, it presents a captivatingly rhythmic allover design that invests each of the many faceted, flamelike rosettes with an ambitious assortment of unexpected yet evocative colour juxtapositions.
The rug’s palette is potent, deeply saturated and quite wide-ranging, balancing a luminous antique parchment ground against intensely memorable tones of rare teal green, pink, saffron, claret and sapphire blue. Excellent pile condition brings a luxurious state of preservation to this master tribal weaver’s creation, while also enhancing the crisp clarity and impact of its essential geometric motifs.
Shirvan is located just to the south of the Caucasus mountain range and is to the east of Gendje and to the west of the Baku peninsula. Local weaving tradition in this region excelled in exploring the numerous possible variations using a limited palette of color to maximal effect.
The area rugs and a very limited supply of antique runners woven in the Shirvan district are the most finely knotted and sophisticated antique carpets of the Caucasus region.
One of the unique features of Kazakh Shirvan rugs is their cultural significance. These rugs have been woven by the Kazakh people for centuries and often feature symbols and designs that reflect their cultural heritage.
If you’re looking to add a touch of bold and vibrant style to your home, a Kazakh Shirvan rug could be the perfect choice. With their striking designs, bright colors, and sturdy construction, these rugs are sure to make a statement in any room of your home.
