SHIRVAN
Southeast Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) This Long Rug is a premier representative of the prized Shirvan “Column Design,” boasting amazingly fine craftsmanship and pinpoint detail work, an astonishing range of color, and fabulous condition at tremendous age. The primary thematic pattern of this style is a column of extraordinarily detailed, radiating diamond medallions, each of which possesses unique attributes in its design and colors. Adding palpable energy to this piece, a tremendous variety of secondary motifs (always more finessed in the older rugs) are set against a sapphire blue field. Its four borders and two guard stripes are a tour de force of themselves, supporting the symbolic symphony in the field. Displaying awesome artistic maturity in the handling of numerous elements, including playful notes, and a magnificent technical dexterity, this piece is a venerable tribal masterpiece.
