Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug, Country of Origin: Caucasian, Circa Date: 1900– Faded orange and cream hues dominate this small antique tribal Caucasian rug, which features patterns set off in negative space by a slate gray shade. The central rectangular form prominently displays three octagons filled with radially symmetrical geometric designs flanked by columns of animals. These dark fields are surrounded by a zigzag-lined trim much like the frame of a shadow box. Above and below this area of the rug, additional dark strips each contain four medallions reminiscent of snowflakes, accented by small flowers and crosses. A series of borders encloses and unites this entirety, brown stitching over cream creating regular, repeating patterns. The antique Caucasian Shirvan rug’s outermost border contains complex linear forms set off by boldly stitched bars.
