Shahsavan Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

I love a rug with an infinite field such as this. The mutli-coloured stepped diamonds are locked together and create a mesmerising field that is cut off by the border. The weave is crude but tough and similar to Jaf Kurdish rugs albeit without their trademark offset knotting. The vegetable dyes are bright and combine beautifully, it is interesting to see how the white in the main field causes the three diamonds towards the bottom to pop out and attract the eye to them. Despite some wear this is a very strong and usable piece.

A couple of areas of wear, the main one across the middle. Some small areas of repair but as stated this is a very tough rug.

Date of Manufacture

Phil Bell Antique Rugs has dated this Antique Shahsavan Wool Runner to the 1910s.

This Shahsavan tribal wool rug dates from 1910 and measures 223 cm high by 116 cm wide. The handwoven piece exhibits a geometric diamond lattice pattern with multi-coloured stepped diamonds and cross motifs across a red and navy blue field, enclosed by intricate geometric borders in white, green, and blue tones. Vegetable dyes provide the coloration, including bright reds, deep navy, white, and earthy browns. The construction displays a crude yet tough weave, with visible signs of age including a main area of wear across the middle, alongside a couple of other worn patches and small areas of repair. The rug is suitable for placement as a functional floor covering in a hallway, living room, or study to introduce traditional tribal patterns and rich colours to an interior space.

FAQs

Shahsavan rugs are traditional handwoven textiles created by the nomadic Shahsavan tribal confederation originating from northwestern Iran and the Caucasus region, recognised for bold geometric patterns and vibrant dyes.

These rugs are constructed using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces feature geometric lozenge or medallion designs, multi-bordered edges, natural colour variations known as abrash, and a flexible wool warp and weft construction.

A Shahsavan runner works exceptionally well in hallways, entryways, or along the foot of a bed, adding historic texture and grounding minimal or eclectic interior schemes.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear, use a quality underlay, and seek professional specialist cleaning for stains.
