Antique Talish Rug

19th century
Description

A wonderful pale blue antique Talish rug, woven in the late 19th century and full of charm and character! The all over floral shrub design is well spaced out and very interesting with the weaver starting the rugs pattern with four large hooked Boteh motifs, then changing to the flowers in the main field.  This quirky and non symmetrical pattern is what makes Caucasian rugs so appealing, this tribal weaver used patterns from memory and natural dyed wool from the plants and beetles. The ivory minor borders lift the palette too, the main red border uses lovely faded greens and soft pink tones on the geometric motifs.

Condition is very nice, with a medium high wool pile, all professionally cleaned and both fringes secured.  A stunning antique rug, over 130 years old and ready to be used with our underlay, which prevents movement and adds body to the rug.  This new underlay also preserves the rug, as wear more often happens from the rug slipping around on the floor.

Please contact us for a showroom visit or home visit, we would love to help you soon.

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

Talish rugs originate from the south-eastern Caucasian region, historically hand-knotted by regional weavers. They are renowned for their distinct long, narrow runner proportions, bold geometric borders, and rich natural dye colour palettes featuring deep indigo blues and madder reds.

Authentic Caucasian textiles are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and warp/weft foundation. Natural dyes derived from regional plants, roots, and minerals yield vibrant blues, madder reds, and soft ivory tones that develop a gentle patina over time.

Authentic Caucasian pieces typically feature a high aspect ratio format, hand-spun wool construction, and distinct geometric motifs. Inspecting the underside reveals clear hand-knotted knots without secondary backing, alongside natural colour variations known as abrash.

An antique runner introduces colour, historic texture, and geometry into modern settings. Placing a runner along a hallway, entryway, or beside a bed creates a grounding focal point that complements both contemporary and traditional furnishings.

Vacuum gently using suction only, avoiding rotating beater bars that can snag hand-knotted fibres. Rotate the rug regularly to ensure even wear and light exposure, and rely on professional rug cleaning specialists experienced in handling natural dyes.
