1900 Antique Caucasian Shirvan Kazak Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 3'8'' x 6'7''

This antique Caucasian tribal rug, woven approximately between 1890 and 1910, showcases the artistic traditions of the Shirvan Kazak weaving region in the Eastern and Southwestern Caucasus. The rug features a distinctive triple medallion layout that anchors the composition, with each medallion characterized by sharply defined geometric forms typical of late 19th-century village weaving. Surrounding the medallions is a vibrant field filled with stylized animals, abstract tribal symbols, and protective motifs, all arranged in a rhythmic balance that reflects the essence of Caucasian nomadic design. The color palette consists of deep indigo, brick red, ivory, and touches of green, all derived from natural vegetable dyes. This results in the saturated and enduring colors that collectors highly prize. The borders of the rug showcase a classic multi-band Caucasian arrangement, featuring geometric rosettes, latch-hook elements, and running motifs that create a strong visual structure around the central field. Woven with hand-spun wool on a wool foundation, the rug exhibits the crisp knotting and durability associated with Shirvan and Kazak village workshops of that era. Highly decorative and culturally expressive, this circa 1900 Caucasian rug offers both historical authenticity and timeless visual appeal, making it an exceptional piece for collectors, designers, and enthusiasts of tribal textiles.
