Dating to circa 1900, it combines a restrained palette with a densely organised all-over design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand-knotted in wool, the rug measures approximately 162.6 × 116.8 cm. Its compact proportions allow the intricate drawing to be appreciated without requiring a large floor area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn Orderly Geometric Field\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRows of stepped rosettes alternate with angular, cross-shaped ornaments across the centre. Fine dark outlines link the motifs into a delicate lattice, giving the composition a clear underlying structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall diamond details and short coloured bars occupy the spaces between the larger forms. These quieter elements introduce variation without interrupting the repeated arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no dominant central medallion. Instead, the eye moves between individual motifs, noticing changes in colour and small differences in the geometric drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIvory and Muted Colour\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pale ground brings a light appearance to the closely patterned field. Muted blue, sage and pale gold soften the contrast with deep navy and dark brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaupe tones connect the lighter and darker areas, creating a subdued overall effect. Some rosettes are strongly outlined, while others appear softer against the worn ivory surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe palette gives the design clarity without relying on vivid red or bright primary colours. Its appeal lies in the relationship between fine dark lines and gently varied pale tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Starburst Border\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA broad ivory border carries repeating serrated starburst flowers. Their pointed petals alternate blue, brown and pale gold details, forming a strong frame around the smaller field motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrow star-patterned bands add another layer of geometric ornament. Dark scrolling guard borders provide contrast around the lighter sections and complete the layered composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWool and Antique Texture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wool pile is low and uneven, with scattered wear revealing the underlying weave. This surface variation remains visible across the field and parts of the border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolded-corner photographs show the patterned reverse and fringe finishing. The rug has a slightly irregular outline, with gentle waviness along portions of the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood overall antique condition, with low, uneven pile and scattered worn areas exposing the underlying weave. The edges are worn, and the fringes are uneven and frayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe surface should not be expected to feel uniformly plush or appear unworn. Please examine the close-up photographs for localised wear and differences in pile coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo specific restoration history has been established. Gentle use in a low-traffic setting would be preferable to regular heavy foot traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegion: Caucasus\u003cbr\u003eType: Shirvan\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: Circa 1900\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Wool\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Handmade, hand-knotted\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Approximately 162.6 cm long × 116.8 cm wide\u003cbr\u003eFeet and inches: 5 ft 4 in × 3 ft 10 in\u003cbr\u003eDecimal dimensions: Approximately 5.33 × 3.83 ft\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Repeating geometric rosettes and fine lattice\u003cbr\u003eBorder: Serrated starburst flowers, narrow star bands and dark scrolling guards\u003cbr\u003eColours: Ivory, muted blue, deep navy, sage, pale gold, taupe and dark brown\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good antique condition, with low uneven pile, scattered wear, worn edges, frayed fringes and slight outline irregularity\u003cbr\u003eSKU: 1B1022\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy It’s Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ivory ground gives the geometric drawing an unusually light visual character.
