This Caucasian antique rug measures 4' 0" x 11' 5" and presents a long, narrow field animated by repeating hooked scale forms in deep red, rust, and black. A slender cream border with small floral motifs frames the composition, while the outer edges turn to lively diagonal striping in red, blue, brown, and ivory. The surface shows light wear and soft color variation, giving the piece a grounded, timeworn character without losing its clarity. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the direct graphic rhythm and restrained palette associated with enduring Caucasian weaving traditions.
