Fine Silk Antique Uzbek Textile, Country Of Origin: Uzbekistan, Circa Date: Late 19th century – This beautiful antique Oriental rug — an Uzbek textile originally hand made by the artisans of Uzbekistan — is a beautiful piece that helps to underscore the enduring cultural  importance of rugs and weaving. Each pattern is carefully resist dyed on to the threads before the textile is woven resulting in the characteristically indistinct edges prized in ikat fabrics. In addition to colorful medallions and stacked latch-hooks, this textile includes contrasting borders with abstract, line-based patterns that form ogival curves. All in all, this is a beautiful and enchanting piece that is a testament to both the long lasting cultural significance of rugs and textiles as well as to the enduring quality of hand made pieces. This piece speaks not only to the culture that is responsible for weaving it, but it is also a beautiful decorative piece of its own merit.
