HOT ! 6\'7\'\'x10\'7\'\' Hand Knotted Wool Blush Shirvan Tribal Geometric gul medallion Vintage Rug

Rooted in the bold graphic traditions of the Caucasus, this 6\'7\" x 10\'7\" hand knotted wool Shirvan rug features a low pile of approximately 0.25, a sturdy cotton foundation. Woven in the tribal Shirvan tradition, the rug emphasizes structure, repetition, and symbolic geometry over ornate florals, resulting in a design that feels both historic and strikingly modern. The field is arranged in a structured grid of octagonal medallions, a classic Shirvan layout that emphasizes order and balance rather than flowing movement. Each octagon acts as a contained visual unit, traditionally interpreted as a protective enclosure or a symbol of stability and continuity within nomadic life. Within each medallion, layered diamond motifs appear at the core, rendered in ivory and sage, creating a visual ‘center within a center.’ These diamonds often symbolize the eye or inner harmony, anchoring the composition while guiding the viewer’s gaze rhythmically across the rug. Surrounding stepped forms and angular hooks are executed in charcoal, rust, and brown, adding a sense of motion. The narrow borders reinforce this structure, featuring small rosettes and geometric blossoms in ivory, sage, blush, and charcoal, symbolizing growth and continuity while neatly containing the bold interior design. Ideal for living rooms, dining areas, or home offices, this Shirvan rug pairs beautifully with wood floors, leather, and neutral furnishings, offering a timeless tribal presence with authentic character and enduring appeal.

Story behind the Art With intriguing color choices and bold patterns, Caucasian rugs are immensely popular for their versatility to suit most home décor. It is named after the region of its origin: area of the Caucasus Mountains in south western Asia. Caucasian rugs are best known for featuring bold geometric and tribal designs in primary colors. Typical geometric shapes include diamonds, squares, lattices, crosses and stripes. The distinguishing aspect of the Caucasian carpet is its emphasis on rich and varied color. Visual balance is achieved by contrasting wildly different colors, rather than the more traditional approach of shading similar hues. All Caucasian rugs are made with the Turkish or Giordes knot and are considered village rugs. Caucasian rugs are divided into subtypes according to their region of origin that range from Akstafa, Baku, Aghestan, Karabagh, to Kazak, Kuba, and Shirvan.
