Shirvan rugs are traditionally hand-knotted in the eastern Caucasus region, characterised by finely woven flat or low-pile structures, geometric medallions, and stylized floral or animal motifs.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun wool foundations and pile, dyed using natural vegetable and insect dyes, and finished with hand-whipped selvedges.

Key indicators include natural abrash colour variations in the wool, asymmetrical or symmetrical knotting density, hand-spun yarn irregularities, and traditional tribal iconography.

An antique rug can be used to ground contemporary minimalist spaces, layered over neutral sisal flooring, or positioned as a focal point in a study or living area to add texture and history.

Preservation requires professional specialist cleaning, avoiding direct prolonged sunlight to prevent dye fade, using a breathable rug underlay, and gentle vacuuming without rotating brush heads.
