TRANS CAUCASIAN SHAHSAVAN
Northwest Persian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) Completely elemental in its charmingly naïve and spontaneous design, this compelling 19th century Trans-Caucasian tribal rug demonstrates the idiosyncratic whimsy of Shahsavan nomadic weaving. Three diamond medallions contain darling tiny flower heads in pointillistic style, alert canines, shamanic human figures and other partially deconstructed inclusions. The entirely successful color palette of Persian cobalt, madder red, bright copper, midnight indigo, champagne and sea green coalesce into an successful, spirited arrangement. In an extremely versatile dimension, this absolutely charming art rug is in very good pile condition at well over a century of age. A winsome and enchanting example of the best of tribal weaving, this irresistible Caucasian rug is a celebration of color and unabashed folk artistry. Happily, it comes to us in heavy pile condition.
