Caucasian / 21873

This Caucasian antique rug, 3' 3" x 4' 6", carries a restrained palette of neutral brown, ivory, cream, and faded blue, balanced by age-worn charcoal accents. The composition centres on a stepped medallion surrounded by layered geometric borders, small hooked motifs, and tightly ordered guard bands, giving the field a measured, architectural rhythm. Wool construction lends a soft, tactile surface, while the medium distress reads as part of its visual character, with abrasion, fading, and honest wear throughout. Circa 1850 - 1870, it feels grounded, collected, and distinctly heritage-aware. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
