And for £500 it makes a tremendous display piece, livening up even the dullest of rooms!

FAQs

Shirvan rugs originate from the eastern Caucasus region and are historically celebrated for their finely woven structures, geometric precision, and distinct tribal motifs influenced by Persian, Caucasian, and nomadic traditions.

Authentic pieces typically feature handspun wool piles, wool or cotton warps, and natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, insects, and minerals, woven using symmetric or asymmetric knots.

Authentication involves examining the natural abrash in the wool, the irregularities in handspun yarn, structural knot density on the reverse, and traditional Caucasian geometric iconography.

These textiles serve as focal floor art or wall hangings, adding warmth and historical contrast to minimalist, transitional, or eclectic modern spaces.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing, avoiding direct prolonged sunlight, and using a breathable, high-quality underlay.
