Vintage Turkish Shirvan Rug 6' X 3'4"

ORIGIN: TURKEY

CIRCA: 1970s

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL

This striking vintage Shirvan rug displays the bold geometric character and refined symmetry associated with traditional Caucasian weaving. The design is organised around a sequence of three large, star-shaped medallions aligned along the central axis, each enclosing an octagonal motif filled with stylised tree-like forms. These medallions are rendered in soft sage and muted blue tones, creating a beautiful contrast against the warm beige field.

Surrounding the central medallions are finely drawn tribal motifs, including small rosettes, angular blossoms, and snowflake-like ornaments that give the composition a lively, rhythmic quality. The delicate spacing of these motifs enhances the design's balance while maintaining the distinctive village aesthetic Shirvan rugs are known for.

The rug is framed by a series of narrow guard borders and a main border decorated with repeating geometric vine motifs and small stylised flowers. These borders are woven in earthy shades of ivory, charcoal, and subtle rust, providing a crisp frame that complements the field's softer palette.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug features a beautifully aged patina and a gently faded palette that highlights its vintage character. The harmonious blend of geometric medallions, tribal symbols, and understated colours gives this Shirvan rug a timeless elegance, making it a versatile piece that can enhance both classic and contemporary interiors.
