Shirvan / 12990

This Shirvan antique rug measures 3' 9" x 5' 4" and presents a layered field of geometric medallions, angular blossoms, and crisp border work in a restrained earth-toned palette. Cream and ivory forms sit against a dark ground, while brown, tan, and muted blue accents lend contrast without disturbing the rug’s measured rhythm. The composition feels structured yet animated, with small-scale details holding the eye across the surface. Circa 1880 - 1900, its medium wear and softened colour give it a calm, lived-in character that remains distinctly decorative and grounded.
