Caucasian / 20096

This Caucasian antique rug measures 127 x 343 cm, and unfolds in a long, slender format with a field arranged into stacked geometric panels. Wool gives the surface a firm, tactile character, while red, cream, white, navy, and neutral tones move between contrast and quiet. The border is equally considered, with tribal motifs that frame the composition and reinforce its linear structure. Circa 1880 - 1900, the rug shows low distress, with age-softened colour and light wear at the edges and within the field. The result is grounded, expressive, and distinctly folkloric, with the visual depth expected of a well-kept antique rug.
