Caucasian / 21115

This Caucasian antique rug in wool measures 3' 0" x 5' 0" and presents a finely ordered field of stepped geometric forms framed by multiple borders. The palette blends red, blue, cream, and neutral tones, with star-like blossoms around the perimeter and diagonal stripe guards that sharpen the composition. The surface shows low distress, with gentle wear and age-softened colour that lend depth without diminishing the pattern. Circa 1850 - 1870, it carries the crisp rhythm and quiet warmth associated with small-format Caucasian weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
