Antique Caucasian Seychour Rug, Caucasus, Circa: Late 19th Century – This fascinating and culturally intriguing antique Oriental rug – an antique Caucasian Seychour rug made in the Caucuses – is truly an achievement in rug-making. This traditional piece possesses many of the qualities most sought after by collectors of such rugs, and would make a proud addition to any home. Straddling the area between the Russia and northwest Persia, the city of Seychour developed a unique style characterized by geometric figures and floral elements that are distinctly associated with the Caucasus. Known for their vibrant and varied color palettes, Seychour weavers chose strong indigo-blues, rose-reds, and delicate greens for this carpet, which have acquired a subtle patina over the years. All in all, this is a piece that is not to be missed. Its unique design and traditional composition make it not only a highly desirable piece, but a genuine work of art in the antique rug world.
