This Caucasian antique rug measures 122 x 348 cm and is composed with a tall, narrow field of repeating hooked scale motifs in red, rust, and black. The cream inner border is detailed with small floral elements, while the outer guard borders shift into diagonal bands of red, blue, brown, and ivory for a more animated edge. Visible wear is gentle, with softened character and subtle tonal variation across the surface. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the disciplined geometry and earthy richness often found in Caucasian weaving, balancing pattern density with an understated, weathered presence.
