This authentic antique Caucasian Lezgi rug from the 1880s is a powerful testament to nomadic weaving traditions. Woven over 140 years ago, it showcases the bold and symbolic design language of the Caucasus. Furthermore, its striking geometric forms and rich, contrasting colors are instantly recognizable. Consequently, this piece is not just a floor covering but a significant and vibrant fragment of tribal art history.

A Bold and Symbolic Field

The rug's deep, resonant blue field provides a dramatic backdrop for a large, powerful central medallion. This primary motif is rendered in a classic and compelling combination of red, white, and navy blue. Moreover, the surrounding field is densely populated with an array of traditional motifs and smaller geometric shapes. Each symbol carries meaning, contributing to the rug's complex visual narrative.

Dynamic Classic Borders

Framing this central composition is a dynamic and rhythmic main border. It features a classic "running dog" or reciprocal arrowhead pattern that guides the eye around the rug. This central border is flanked by simpler guard borders with repeating geometric shapes. These borders perfectly contain the energetic central design. They provide a structured yet lively frame for the entire piece.

A Rug with Soulful Character

The rug remains in good, stable condition considering its remarkable age. It exhibits a low, even pile and minor signs of wear that are consistent with its history. These characteristics contribute to its soulful patina and authentic vintage character. Its robust design and impressive size make it a striking addition to a living room, a study, or as a vibrant accent in a spacious hallway.
