Caucasian / 21279

This Caucasian antique rug measures 4' 0" x 8' 8" and presents a striking field of diagonal geometric bands framed by bold hooked borders and finely scaled guard motifs. Wool pile in cream, faded red, indigo, blue, sage, and brown gives the composition a dry, time-softened clarity, with wear lending depth rather than distraction. The surface shows low distress, gentle fading, and a well-lived hand that preserves the rug’s angular rhythm and graphic balance. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the layered visual language that makes Caucasian weaving so enduring.
