Antique Caucasian Seychour Rug, Caucasus – This marvelous antique Caucasian Seychour rug showcases a remarkable collection of distinctive designs and strong colors associated with this prized regional niche. The saturated lapis blue field has rich, bold hues juxtaposed against peachy salmon pinks, clear whites, robust reds and deep sylvan greens. Quirky trefoils, graceful amulets and arthropod devices said to represent dragons form a spacious, open arabesque often classified as Bidjov within the Caucasus. Latch-hook appendages, re curving calyces and contoured brackets outlined with contrasting accents give the botanically-influenced motifs a decorative, angular appearance that is graphic yet handsomely restrained. Kufesque inner borders with reciprocating pink-on-red vine scrolls meander around the perimeter of the lavish field along with splendid blue-and-white running dog borders, sometimes called Seychour borders in a nod to their regional roots.
