Antique Caucasian Rug

This handmade carpet handsome antique Caucasian rug is a phenomenal and truly archetypal example of regional orinetal rugs from the Azerbaijani village of Karakashly. This local variant of the Afshan pattern features crimson calyces with right-angle bifurcations and pendulous cruciform embellishments. These archetypal motifs are accompanied by a tower of stacked polygons with small V-shaped indentations, a Karakashly hallmark. Each decorative foil has embellished with eight-armed brackets and tiny lozenge-shaped accents. Isolated rosettes, beetle-like blossoms, and geometric birds dot the beautifully oxidized field while maintaining the open layout and chic tri-tone colour scheme. This prototypical Karakashly field has surrounded by tertiary S-hook borders, secondary stacked-lozenge borders and beautiful leaf-and-winecup main borders that embody the essence of local designs. These ancient motifs and local adaptations have rustic sensibilities and a level of refinement ideal for modern interiors.
