The field is enclosed by an unusually rich series of borders, including a broad ivory band filled with colourful stylised flowers and leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe palette is particularly attractive, combining faded brick red, indigo and softer blue, ivory, green and earthy brown tones. More than a century of use has mellowed the colours beautifully and given the rug considerable character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand knotted in wool, with a relatively fine weave typical of Caucasian Shirvan rugs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rug is in genuinely antique condition with extensive age-related wear and areas of low pile, wear to the fringes and edges, and a small hole which will be clearly photographed. There are also the irregularities, colour variation and surface wear expected of a rug of this age. Despite this, it remains structurally decorative and presents beautifully, with the wear contributing greatly to its character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasures approximately 118 × 153 cm \/ 46.5 × 60.2 in \/ 3 ft 10.5 in × 5 ft 0 in.","brand":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56992167625090,"sku":"12-07-25-N-40-S-TL-R129","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1405\/9185\/files\/il_fullxfull.8766369183_ioq8.jpg?v=1792608566","url":"https:\/\/circusofcurios.com\/products\/310-x-50-antique-caucasian-shirvan-rug-azerbaijan-c-1900-118-x-153cm","provider":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
