Caucasian / 20888

This Caucasian antique rug measures 2' 9" x 5' 10" and is woven in wool with a grounded palette of brick red, brown, teal blue, ivory, and grey. The composition centers on a column of stepped medallions, surrounded by a crisp star-flower border and narrow geometric guards that hold the field in a clear architectural frame. Wear has softened the drawing and lifted the pile in places, giving the surface a quiet, lived-in texture. Circa 1850 - 1870, it carries the graphic tension and restrained warmth that define this type.
