Magnificent Caucasian Shirvan rug from the end of the 19^th century in excellent condition. It features striking colours, powerful symbols and, at the same time, subtle details that increase its stylistic beauty. The centre contains a richly detailed medallion with a precise shape and rich colours. The red central medallion rises from the blue background of the rug, offering a striking, innovative, sophisticated visual effect. Each line of the carpet contributes to this effect. Like the other four smaller medallions, each aspect of the design is in harmony, with natural balance and symmetry.
