On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may appreciate this very special antique rug for being not only an exceptional find from one of the most special provenances, but a rarity to find a floral Shirvan Daghestan rug of such versatile size, scale, and love in its every inch. Though polychromatic in its beauty, like a dense and vibrant field of floral patterns, there’s a notable presence of red, beige, gold and blue tones. Connoisseurs will appreciate what an uncommon play of styles this is, with a playful sense of symmetry and scale, too, making it very modern for its age. The illusion of soothing repetition leads the eye to admire the equally distinct variety of geometric patterns in the field. This is a bold, graphic, personal antique piece; a piece of weaving history most likely from a special workshop with a deep reverence for the charm of floral rugs—this being one of the most elegant and versatile we’ve seen.

This antique Shirvan Daghestan rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
