Gorgeous Tribal Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug, Country of origin: Caucasian Rugs, Circa date: 1900
A dark field gives this antique Shirvan rug its dramatic foundation, allowing the ivory stepped outlines, red medallions and small tribal motifs to read with real clarity. The long composition is especially engaging: stacked geometric forms run down the center like a procession, while tiny animals, stars and angular devices give the surface a lively handwoven character. For related long-format and tribal pieces, explore our runner rugs and Kazak rugs.
The border system is a major part of the rug’s appeal, with light outer bands, darker guard borders and colorful rosettes framing the central design without softening its graphic strength. Its narrow format makes it well suited for a hallway, entry, gallery wall placement or any space that can carry a strong linear antique rug. For help confirming placement, review our rug size guide; for working the navy, ivory, red and blue palette into a room, see our guide on how to choose an area rug color.
