Antique Erivan Rug, Erivan, Armenia.

1900 - 1920
Description

The glowing indigo-blue ground of this beautiful little rug, contains a design normally found in the Perepidal region of the eastern Caucasus. But the wool quality and weave, confirms to me that it was knotted in Erivan in Armenia circa 1900-1920.

The design comprises stylised dragon symbols, as can be seen oposing each other rising up the centre of the rug with the large central and side motifs, I believe, representing stylised eagles. The main border design is intricately knotted with stylised flowers.

Size: 1.50m x 1.18m (4' 11" x 3' 11").

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating from the Erivan region in Armenia within the Caucasus, these rugs are recognised for their hand-knotted wool construction, rich indigo blue fields, and intricate geometric, star, and stylized animal motifs.

Traditional weavers utilised hand-spun wool for both the pile and the warp foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes derived from madder, indigo, and local botanical sources.

Authentic pieces display hand-knotted construction with natural irregular knot densities, dye colour variations known as abrash, and distinct Caucasian geometric iconography and border structures.

A dark blue geometric rug provides grounding contrast when placed beneath neutral furniture in living rooms, dining spaces, or home offices.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating suction bar, rotate annually to ensure even wear, blot spills immediately with water, and engage professional specialist rug cleaners for deep washing.
