An absolute dream of a Caucasian rug…this is the kind that makes rug lovers stop mid-scroll. This antique dates to the 1880s and carries the unmistakable spirit of tribal weaving from the Caucasus mountain weavers. Pieces like this were often woven by women, and you can feel the rhythm of those hands in every line of pattern.
The field is filled with rows of lively tribal motifs spread across a moody blue ground, and loaded with abrash. The blues alone deserve a standing ovation…deep navy melting into softer shades and even flashes of that elusive French blue that collectors always perk up for.
The design is playful, yet strong, and full of personality. Nothing stiff about it. Around the edges, graphic tribal border bands frame the field with sharp geometry and color shifts.
Handwoven with 100% vegetable dyed wool, it carries some wear that only 140-plus years can create; please see photos for the full story. For those who love their rugs with history, grit, and a whole lot of soul.
