Shirwan Rug Russia - Carpet - 235 cm - 140 cm

We present a Caucasian Shirvan rug from Dagestan (Russia), made in the mid-20th century, roughly between 1950-1960 The rug is hand-knotted with top-quality wool on a cotton base, using a symmetric knot. The wool is very fine, bright, and extremely soft to the touch, with an exceptional finish that recalls silk, which demonstrates a selection of premier materials and very careful craftsmanship. The design belongs to the Shirvan tradition, with a balanced and elegant composition, characteristic of the Caucasian school. It features excellent definition of the motif and well-preserved colors for its age. The piece is in very good condition, with uniform pile, well-finished edges, and original fringes. • Origin: Dagestan, Caucasus • Country: Russia • Tradition: Shirvan • Era: 1950-1960 • Material: High-quality wool over cotton • Technique: Hand-knotted, symmetric knot • Condition: Very good Size: 235 × 140 cm Authentic piece of the Caucasian Shirvan tradition from the mid-20th century, highly valued for the fineness and natural sheen of its wool, its excellent craftsmanship, and its outstanding state of preservation, suitable for both collection and distinguished decorative use.
