Antique Shirvan Kilim Handwoven Rug

Handwoven on the slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, ca. 1890, but probably earlier. Local weaving tradition in the Shirvan region excelled in exploring the numerous possible variations using a limited palette of color to maximal effect. Shirvans are are generally more sophisticated than other antique rugs from the Caucasus. This antique Shirvan Kilim is absolutely stunning. The design is very unusual and the colors are gorgeous. The condition of this piece is very good.

PANTONE shades: We do our best to find the closest match to one or multiple colors in the rug. The shade card we choose may not always be the perfect one, but we do our best (it’s a lot of work)! At times we may show multiple shade cards so you can get a better sense of color. Finally, when photographing rugs from the same group (shipment, collection, SKU, etc.) we will often use one or two shade card(s) so that you can get a good sense of the coloration. Hope you enjoy viewing our beautiful rugs!
