Antique Caucasian Genghi Prayer Rug 49096, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Caucasian Rugs, Circa Date: 1880 – This prayer rug brings a vibrant warmth into any space, drawing attention as a dynamic work of antique art. The classic color scheme of red, blue, wheat yellow, and pure white carries a sense of life and cheer, further enlivened by the vigorous banding crossing the central field. These diagonal bars are studded with heavily stylized floral figures, leading upward to the decorative medallion that caps the centerpiece of this Caucasian rug. Red and yellow candy stripes form boundaries between several vivid borders, a nested series of geometrically designed bands. Colors alternating within the widest border echo the diagonal stripes through the middle, giving balance to the stylish antique rug.
