Size: 8 ft 1 in x 11 ft 9 in (2.46 m x 3.58 m) - Karabagh Rug, Caucasian, Late 19th Century - Woven in the historic Karabagh region, this antique rug showcases a convergence of curvilinear vine scrolls paired with Caucasian symbols. The design attributes reflect Karabagh’s position on the cusp of Persia’s border with the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea. The composition includes a series of shutter-like extensions that frame the decorated field. Vine scrolls that are highlighted with contrasting outlines and adorned with delicate floral sprays are showcased in the interior. Grand medallions with ogival quatre-foils and flamboyant palmettes create a centerpiece that the secondary floral motifs revolve around. Broad main borders with a jewel-tone abrash depict a maze of vine scrolls and dramatic bifurcated petioles.
