These captivating tribal rugs will make a striking first impression and are the perfect size for a modern long, narrower kitchen or hall. Regardless of where you decide to use it, these magnificent antique rugs add their unique character and charm to the space. The tribal geometric style of the motifs makes these area rug styles perfect for a range of modern interior styles.
The antique Caucasian Akstafa rugs are made in the region of Shirvan. This region is known for its inventive rug designs using ancient rug design symbols that are closely connected to their tribal roots, beliefs and cosmology. In this Caucasian Akstafa rug, you can see the inclusion of the repetition of a motif known as the “Akstafa peacock.” This animal design rug motif is one of the characteristics that allow you to distinguish the origin of antique Caucasian rugs, such as this one, from others in the area.
The peacock is a symbol that has various royal associations and cosmological meanings. This style transformed the tail of the peacock into a weaver’s comb. An interesting feature of this rendition is that the peacocks on one end are reversed so that their heads point towards the center of the geometric rug. This may have been an intentional attempt to “seal” the symbols of the rug so they would have a greater effect. This is another element that gives these area rugs a special personality and makes them the perfect foundation for a cozy sanctuary away from the world.
Rugs like this are ideal for people who are looking to buy area rugs for their home and want something that is both historical and tribal. Adding in a few throw pillows using the colors of the rug and lots of plants in the room allows you to create the perfect space for reading, relaxing, or enjoying the company of friends and family.
