SHIRVAN "BLOSSOM" RUG
Southeast Caucasian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") In the mid-19th century when this was woven, a rug of this squarish, diminutive size most possibly could have been created as a gift or intended to be hung. Whoever the recipient might have been, they were the lucky possessor of a startlingly beautiful, brilliantly conceived piece. A single niched and layered diamond medallion of Shirvan’s pattern tradition commands the design, stretching to the borders. The resulting corner spandrels are filled with an original, captivating treatment of a fresh field of flowers floating beyond the borders. The abrash is bold and adventurous, particularly the flashes of sky blue, crossing through medallion and border.
