Antique Caucasian Seychour Rug

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Siez Gallery
Description

This Seychour rug fills the room with a visceral elegance. The inner and outer borders have a usual 'running dog' motif, that is rendered like coral formations in the sea, whilst a dreamy array of flowers float on the sweet strawberry-red frame. However, the most eye-catching feature has to be the Saint Andrew's cross in the field, abundant with natural imagery and shaded in a dark cerulean silhouette. Interestingly, the weaver tries to incorporate a second cross above, but the miscalculated proportions means a panel of flower heads is used instead. Overall, the expressive colour scheme and the floral fluidity of this rug gives it a slightly 'European' style that suits older decors.

Size: 186cm x 140cm

Age: Circa 1900

Condition: Good. corrosion on black

Stock No: SG-SEY825

FAQs

Seychour rugs originate from the North-East Caucasus region, specifically within the Kuban district. Produced during the 19th and early 20th centuries, these village-woven textiles are celebrated for their distinctive geometric repertoire, including the famous St. Andrews cross or Seychour cross design, and their fine knotting techniques.

Seychour rugs are traditional hand-knotted textiles crafted primarily with a natural wool pile tied onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. The vibrant shades of red, indigo blue, green, and ivory were achieved using natural plant and insect dyes.

Authentic pieces generally feature iconic design elements such as the central Seychour cross, a running dog or wave outer border, and flat-woven selvages. They demonstrate a supple handle, natural dye variations known as abrash, and asymmetric or symmetric hand-tied knot structures consistent with Caucasian weaving.

An antique Caucasian rug serves as a foundational focal point when positioned on neutral timber or polished concrete flooring. The strong geometric patterns and saturated tones anchor minimalist furniture or complement layered traditional schemes.

Maintain the pile by vacuuming gently using suction only, avoiding rotating beater bars that can snag fibers. Position a quality underlay beneath the carpet to absorb footfall pressure, rotate the piece periodically to ensure even wear, and consult a specialist conservator for stain removal or washing.
