This magnificent antique Oriental Karabagh carpet from the Caucasus has a design of European derivation.

Antique Caucasian Karabagh Rug, Origin: Caucasus, Circa: late 19th century – This fantastic and traditional antique Oriental rug – a antique Caucasian Karabagh rug made in the Caucuses some time toward the end of the nineteenth century – is truly an achievement in rug-making. This beautiful piece possesses many of the qualities most sought after by collectors of such rugs, and would make a proud addition to any home. Karabaghs are the only antique area rugs of the Caucasus that sometimes display designs of European derivation, like this magnificent example. Remarkably life-like sprays of leaves and flowers in pastel apricot tones float rhythmically across the antique black ground. Long garlands of similar flowers on a red ground comprise the border, providing a contrasting yet unified effect with the field. All in all, this is an antique rug that is not to be missed. Its stunning design and impeccable composition make it not only a highly desirable piece, but a genuine work of art.
