Salisbury Antiques Centre has dated this Antique Caucasian Tribal Rug to the 1890s.
The vibrant madder red field is decorated with a series of strong angular geometric medallions and tribal motifs, enclosed within a broad ivory border incorporating stylised floral devices and charming animal motifs, including the small camel figure visible in the corner—a particularly appealing and collectible detail often associated with Caucasian tribal rugs.
The rug displays the lively spontaneity and graphic strength that make antique Caucasian weavings so sought after, with a superb decorative presence well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Hand-knotted in wool, this is an authentic tribal weaving with all the character collectors look for, showing the individuality of true village craftsmanship rather than later commercial production.
Condition:
Honest age-related wear consistent with use, including some edge wear, minor losses, distortion and general surface wear commensurate with age, all adding to its authentic antique character.
A decorative and highly collectible antique tribal rug with strong visual appeal.
