Caucasian / 32644

This Caucasian antique rug, measuring 3' 3" x 4' 6", brings together a disciplined border architecture and a weathered, expressive field. Stars, hooked geometric forms, and Greek key-inspired bands in red, blue, ivory, and gold create a vivid frame around a softly worn centre. The overall surface shows age with handsome fading and abrasion that temper the pattern without diminishing its character. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reads as both structured and timeworn, with the kind of visual depth that comes from years of use and gentle loss of colour.
