Antique Karabagh, Caucasus, late nineteenth century Among the great genres of antique Caucasian village rugs, Karabaghs are the ones that most often reflect the influence of Persian carpets from further south, as this splendid example does. Here a diamond red-ground medallion with a feathered contour floats within a hexagonal blue field defined by triangular spandrels and zig-zag edging. In the manner of Persian village rugs like Bidjars or Malayers, a consistent Persian Herati pattern repeats across the entire surface, with the various sections distinguished from one another only by outlines and changes in ground color. A lovely ‘turtle’ vinescroll border frames the field. Its red ground color enables it to merge visually with the spandrels to provide a strong visual frame for the overall composition.

Antique Karabagh, Caucasus, circa 1900While antique Karabaghs generally belong within the village or tribal weaving tradition of the Caucasus, some like this lovely and unusual example reflect the impact of classical Persian design from further south. Here a series of overlapping medallions with hooked contours is set against a brown-black ground, producing an effect reminiscent of snowflakes. Within the more or less two-tone palette, the clustering of the medallions creates broad swaths of pale tan, while the dark ground is limited to punctuating or defining the clusters. The borders are virtually monochrome except for the dark outlining of the vinescroll, echoing the design approach of the field.
