Description:
A rare gem of Caucasian weaving, this grand Shirvan rug—dated 1303 Hijri (1885 CE)—stands out for both its exceptional size and superb craftsmanship. The expansive field is adorned with a stately chain of stepped hexagonal medallions, floating over a rich indigo ground and surrounded by delicate rosettes and stylized animal motifs that lend a folkloric rhythm to its geometric rigor. Most notably, the border features a rare Kufic design—seldom found outside the finest Shirvan weavings—affirming the piece’s prestige and artistry. Bold, balanced, and historically rich, this is a collector’s treasure.
