This antique kilim originates from the Shirvan region of the eastern Caucasus and dates from 1890. Handwoven from wool in a flatweave technique, the rug displays a multicoloured palette dominated by shades of red, blue, yellow, and ivory. The composition consists of horizontal bands decorated with geometric diamond and star motifs, bird-head lozenges, and hooked latch-hook symbols. The ends are finished with short fringes. The piece measures 189 cm high by 110 cm wide. In a contemporary home, this textile functions effectively as a decorative floor covering or a wall hanging within a living room, hallway, or bedroom, bringing a traditional nomadic aesthetic to interior schemes. The construction uses natural dyed wool, displaying complex tribal patterning across the entire surface. The flatweave profile allows for versatile placement beneath furniture or as a distinct focal point in a neutral space.

FAQs

Shirvan kilims are flatwoven wool textiles traditionally produced by weavers in the Shirvan region of the Eastern Caucasus, recognised for their intricate geometric patterns and vibrant natural dyes.

Caucasian kilims are typically hand-spun from pure wool on a wool warp, using slit-weave flatweaving techniques that yield double-sided geometric motifs.

Authentic Shirvan kilims feature fine slit-weave construction, hand-spun wool, natural dye colour variations known as abrash, and complex horizontal bands filled with geometric motifs like hooked diamonds.

An antique kilim can be used as a focal floor covering in modern or eclectic interiors, displayed as a wall hanging, or layered over neutral floorings to introduce rich texture and colour.

Vacuum carefully without a rotary beater bar, use a quality rug underlay to prevent friction wear, and consult a professional specialist conservator for deep cleaning or spot treatment.
