This Caucasian antique rug in wool measures 91 x 152 cm and balances a compact, architectural field with layered borders and precise geometric repeat. Red, blue, cream, and neutral tones shape the stepped medallions, floral star border, and diagonal stripe guards, giving the piece a clear and disciplined presence. The pile shows low distress, with subtle wear, softened colour, and slight edge irregularity that speak to age. Circa 1880 - 1900, this rug reflects the restrained vitality and graphic clarity that define much admired Caucasian weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
