A striking antique Caucasian tribal hand-knotted rug dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, featuring the bold geometric drawing and rich palette so characteristic of the region’s village weavings.
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. The bold palette of madder red, deep indigo, camel, ivory and soft pink gives the piece excellent warmth and visual impact.
Hand-knotted in wool, this is an authentic tribal weaving with all the character coll
...ectors 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.
