Item Details
Description
Shirvan rugs are tribal rugs that were made by the indigenous peoples that resided in the Southern Caucasus in an area that is now the present day Azerbaijan including the city of Shirvan. Shirvan is a historically-significant, industrially and agriculturally-developed region in the eastern Caucasus stretching between the western shores of the Caspian Sea and the Kura River and is centered on a low flood-prone plain (Shirvan Plain). Similar to the rugs produced in the northeast Azerbaijan area of Kuba and Shemakha, Shirvan carpets display a variety of designs and patterns that include floral and geometric motifs consisting of lozenges, stars, crosses and small animals as well as hexagonal latticework and feature octagon-shaped and cruciform medallions. The predominant colors used in these rugs are blues, reds and browns in the field with accents of golden yellow and ivory. The weavers employed a Turkish knot with 60 - 160 KPSI. Shirvan rugs display an impressive symmetry and balance, and for being categorized as "tribal rugs" some of these rugs are quite sophisticated, making them highly valued collectible pieces.
