This antique Karabagh rug originates from the Caucasian region, specifically from the Karabagh area near Armenia and Azerbaijan. It features a tribal design that is characteristic of rugs from this region, with a rich and vibrant color palette.
Crafted around 1930, this rug is made entirely of wool (wool pile on a wool foundation), which speaks to the traditional materials used by weavers in Karabagh. The rug has a predominant red background, which serves as the main color, with a striking green border that frames the piece.
The central field of the rug is divided into three primary sections, each shaped like a diamond or hexagon and extending along the length of the rug. These sections are deep navy blue, filled with intricate and complex geometric shapes, floral motifs, and symbolic designs. Each section contains a hexagonal central medallion with a serrated or stepped light blue edge, which highlights the overall symmetry and complexity of the design.
The primary red border is encased by several nested secondary borders. The first secondary border features a green background with colorful, repetitive geometric patterns, while the subsequent narrower border closer to the central field showcases a simpler patterned design.
The combination of vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and symbolic motifs makes this Karabagh rug a fine example of Caucasian tribal artistry. The rug's construction features a unique double weft weaving technique, ensuring durability and stability. Such craftsmanship and use of premium wool exemplify the high quality of rugs produced in this region during this period.
This rug not only serves a functional purpose but also stands as a piece of artistic heritage, reflecting the historical and cultural influences of the Karabagh area.
