Late 19th Century
(Connoisseur-Caliber)
In an atypical extra small size, this outstanding rug from the extremely finely woven tradition that flourished in lowland region of the Caucasus mountains in the 19th century comes this impressive, bejeweled piece. Drawn with outstanding clarity and individual nuance, its classic ram’s horn motifs unfold spaciously alongside abstracted bird forms and other paired, graphic adornments. Two of the earliest and most enduring border motifs—the stately Kufic and dynamic interlock—are also present, providing a remarkably harmonious frame. Astoundingly potent, entirely harmonious colors, including aquamarine, khaki, crimson and ivory perfectly express these vigorous, abstracted tribal motifs. Its extremely good condition is another of its strong suits.
