Antique Caucasian Daghestan Rug n°:32214028

Rug Description

Antique Caucasian Daghestan Rug, ca 1920. An antique Caucasian Dagestan carpet of medium-large format and with very elaborate graphics. Starting from the borders, we immediately realize how elaborate and refined the “S” motif of the first border is, in which some shades even seem “transparent”; boteh motifs alternate in a virtuous alternation of colors, anticipating the main border finely decorated with polychrome dragon motifs in opposite positions connected by a diamond motif. This graphic is expertly modulated across the entire surface, giving particular brightness to the internal surface. The background of this antique Shirvan carpet in midnight blue includes ten medallions with a hooked profile surrounded by a constellation of ancestral and tribal motifs of the Azerbaijani tradition. Also very interesting is the border, better known as the “running dog” motif which further embeds the background. The graphics of this antique Caucasian Shirvan carpet are to be discovered step by step. Its state of conservation is very good.
