Light blues, greens, yellows and reds are 'popping' within the lattice field, set off beautifully by the ivory background. Very nice collectable piece.

FAQs

Shirvan rugs originate from the eastern Caucasus and are known for their fine wool, crisp geometric designs, intricate borders, and carefully balanced colour palettes featuring deep reds, indigos, and ivories.

These pieces are hand-knotted using handspun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundation, often featuring wool or cotton warps and wefts dyed with natural vegetable and insect extracts.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the knot density, natural colour variations known as abrash, the organic irregularities of hand-spinning, and the specific structural characteristics of the fringe and selvedges.

Such textiles add texture and historical depth to contemporary spaces, functioning effectively as accent floor pieces, wall hangings, or layered over larger neutral flooring to anchor a room.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional washing by textile specialists when necessary, and protection from direct sunlight to prevent fading of natural dyes.
