CAUCASIAN SHIRVAN RUG

As a product or industry expert, you may be interested to know that the CAUCASIAN SHIRVAN RUG has its origins in Western Central Asia. These handwoven rugs, once cherished by Turkic nomads as family heirlooms, are adorned with a variety of symbols representing love, protection, good news, and more. Each rug is unique and hand crafted using the finest Turkish double knotting technique, using 100% mountain wool. This particular rug, woven in the 21st century, is a testament to the enduring artistry of these rugs.

Our pieces are hand-woven or hand-knotted using handspun wool & natural/vegetable dyes. These dyes are set using natural processes such as pine saps instead of animal urine to reduce allergy risks, making them safe for pets. Rugs over 100 years old are classified as antiques, while those between 20 and 100 years old are considered vintage. Although some vintage rugs may have been over-dyed, they are still highly sought after for their decorative appeal. Originally created for specific purposes such as dowries, gifts, and home decoration, these rugs come in non-standard sizes and colors, adding to their rarity and uniqueness. Sadly, the art of weaving in regions from greater Mesopotamia to Central Asia is disappearing as rural traditions are overtaken by urban opportunities, making these items even more rare. Each rug is thoroughly examined for any damages and restored as needed, including the fringes. With all these features, our collection offers one-of-a-kind selection.
