This antique Caucasian Shirvan Marasali area rug dates from circa 1880 and possesses a hand-knotted wool pile. The piece displays an abrashed soft red field with a lighter upper section, filled with repeating rows of striped flaming boteh motifs separated by small birds and interspersed with various smaller boteh throughout. Classic geometric multi-band borders frame the central field in contrasting tones of blue, cream, brown, and red. Additional visual details include fringed ends, uniform medium pile wear, and detailed multi-coloured geometric patterns within the guard borders. Measuring 276 cm high by 140 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the rug is suitable for light domestic use on the floor of a sitting room, hallway, or study within an English country house interior. The textile arrives hand washed and ready for placement or display.

FAQs

Caucasian Shirvan rugs originate from the eastern Caucasus region and are recognized for their fine weave, dense geometric ornament, and recurring stylised motifs such as the flaming boteh pattern.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the warp/weft foundation, colored using natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically exhibit a flexible wool structure, subtle natural colour variations known as abrash, high knot density, and distinctive geometric border series framing repeating field motifs.

A tribal wool rug provides visual warmth and geometric structure when placed alongside neutral upholstered furniture, polished timber floors, or contemporary minimalist decor.

Suction-vacuum gently without a rotating brush head, rotate the rug periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, attend to spills immediately with a clean damp cloth, and utilise professional hand-washing services.
