Shirvan, Caucasus, Circa 1900 - Vibrant colors and detailed symbolic motifs decorate the splendid sapphire blue field of this antique Caucasian rug from Shirvan. Serrated tone-on-tone latticework patterns defined by contrasting ruby red outlines crisscross the strong blue field. Small-scale protection symbols rendered in clear white are cleverly tucked into the detailed allover pattern. Colorful primary borders decorated with a bold floral pattern are paired with vibrant secondary borders decorated with juxtaposed stripes placed at offset angles. Detailed rosettes each bordered with secondary outlines decorate the obscure main borders, which feature colorful rosettes surrounded by angular vinescrolls and stacked berekets that link the vibrant Caucasian color palette, which includes saffron yellow, blue and red paired with clear white accents.
Those antique designs of a rug will sell at a very high price. I have an area rugs that I bought in Area Rugs Milwaukee and it was a classical in design but it was only cheap since it is not a popular for some modern houses but for me having it, was the best design that I put inside my house.
