ANTIQUE CAUCASIAN SHIRVAN PRAYER RUG. GREAT CONDITION. A+ DESIGN. NATURAL DYES

CRISP and COLORFUL ANTIQUE CAUCASIAN SHIRVAN PRAYER RUG, Central Eastern Caucasus Mountains, last quarter of the 19th century, and coming in very good condition for the collector. The exact size is: 2'-11" x 6'-1" (89 x 186 cm). All wool in construction with some wefts comprised of natural ivory cotton. Only 100% natural, plant-derived, dyes were used in its creation. The ivory field displays an allover saw-tooth lattice grid containing latch-hook and diamond medallions. In and around the mihrab we find amulets, scattered flower heads, and four legged animals. Amulette motifs are also found scattered whimsically in the blue main border surround. This weaving comes in very good original condition with medium-low (not worn) even pile (see photo # 10). There has been some professional restoration to ragged endings at both the top and bottom (see photo # 11) and the side cord over-castings have been repaired in areas. This fine quality of artistic restoration is an expensive cost, but it makes the carpet, once again, aesthetically appealing to the eye and gives it investment potential. Both of the endings are sewn back secure to prevent any future loss of structure. This lovely antique Caucasisn textile artifact is clean and collection ready. Indeed, it will make a stunningly beautiful textile art statement to the eye when used as a decorative wall hanging.
