Description

A nice early example in good pile but with fairly extensive 'Granny' style repairs visible on the back but well blended on the front. Finely woven, with sparkling natural dyes this old tribal prayer rug from the 1860-70's is offered at a very reasonable rate because of the condition but is still a Great Wall piece for display. There is so much going on the trellis field, with dogs, hookah pipes and other animals visible. Around the arch is an illegible date.

Lovely small size of 2'8" x 4'6"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Shirvan Prayer Rug to the 1860s.

FAQs

Shirvan rugs are hand-knotted textiles originating from the Eastern Caucasus region, traditionally produced by village weavers who incorporated distinctive geometric motifs and mihrab designs into their prayer rugs.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun wool foundations and pile, dyed using natural vegetable and mineral colourants, and secured with symmetrical or asymmetrical knots.

Authentication involves examining the wool quality, natural dye variations, knot density, hand-spun characteristics, and the specific structural wear consistent with age.

These textiles function effectively as focal points on wooden floors, as wall hangings to protect them from foot traffic, or layered over neutral modern carpets.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, keeping them out of direct sunlight, and using a breathable underlay.
