Beautiful, rich natural dyes have been used in this fine Caucasian rug, from the North East Caucasus.

An exceptional piece but has some small stains that do not wash out, and some old, well done repairs, and is therefore priced below cost to be moved along. A great buy for someone who loves old rugs and doesn't mind some small defects!

Shirvan rugs originate from the eastern Caucasus and are historically recognised for their finely knotted flatweave or pile construction, precise geometric motifs, and sophisticated colour palettes.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for the pile, warp, and weft, often dyed with natural vegetable and mineral colourants to achieve rich hues.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of hand-spun wool, natural dye oxidisation, characteristic knot counts, and traditional tribal border designs unique to the region.

An antique rug functions effectively as a grounding element in a room, adding texture and historical contrast when paired with minimalist or modern furnishings.

Preservation requires professional low-moisture cleaning, regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, and protection from direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation.
