Antique Light Blue Tribal Caucasian Avar Rug, Origin: The Caucasus, Circa: End of the 19th Century – Immediately recognizable of the zany antique Oriental rug style – the Avar rug style is one of the most distinct and authentically tribal styles of antique rugs that one can find anywhere. This beautiful antique oriental Caucasian Avar rug is certainly not deviating from this general rule. It features a decidedly tribal composition, characterized by abstract and eccentric geometric figures, arranged against a beautiful field of soft sky blue. Throughout the carpet, small tribal details appear at seemingly irregular intervals, giving the carpet a sort of underlying abstract quality. Beautifully woven and a brilliant example of the power of tribal aesthetics, this antique and tribal Caucasian Avar rug is an intriguing example.
