Caucasian / 24234

This Caucasian antique rug measures 4' 10" x 7' 4" and carries a vivid, time-softened field of blue, red, cream, and white. The composition is anchored by stacked geometric medallions and small floral devices, framed by a lively series of angular borders that keep the design tightly resolved from edge to edge. Circa 1880 - 1900, it shows low distress, with surface abrasion and broad fading that lend depth to the pattern rather than diminishing it. The result is a piece with strong graphic presence, restrained wear, and the layered character so closely associated with older Caucasian weaving.
