Title: ARCHAIC GEM Antique Worn Caucasian Tribal Rug | Worn to Perfection, 19th Century or so
Size: 5.4 x 7.10
Age: Antique, C. 1890's or so
Pile: Low/Med pile with fantastic age-related wear and patina. Exceptional Character-rich Aesthetic. Lots of wear, distress, patina, etc. Loose ends and all that jazz. It's old, very old. Some subtle discoloration but nothing crazy. I've kept it in it's untouched condition because some people prefer it like this. If you want us to restore the edges etc, we can - just let us know and I'll get you a quote. If you decide to hang this or put in a lower traffic areas, I would recommend just have us secure and tidy the rug up so it'll prevent from unraveling while not messing with the ancient old aesthetics that we all love!
About: There is so much I could point out - but I have to keep it brief so you don't fall asleep because I could Ramble about this one!! My FAVORITE things are: the asymmetrical nature of the design, it is truly spontaneous weaving at its FINEST. I also am so in love with how the iconic Fence design on the inside of the main field that surrounds the inner part of the rug is super fine and small on the top and bottom, but exaggerated and bold on the left and right sides going up - this is probably my favorite things about this piece! That intersection right there is impromptu, "figure it out as we go" weaving right there - to me, that is true art! The dyes are perfection, the designs and random ram horns and village life they wove throughout is just divine. Truly my top 10 favorite pieces in the inventory, it's a stunner - oh, and this size is just insane!
This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one in the world, no others are available.
Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects.
Any questions about this rug? Don't hesitate to reach out!
We always recommend a high-quality custom cut pad for any and all rugs; these pads are made for hand-knotted rugs. They create a body and support the knots of the rug, as well as prevent it from slipping and sliding.
A note from us to you: Buying a rug is special; it's not just you finding the rug, but also the rug finding you. Think about the many coincidences that have to occur for you to find the rug of your dreams. Our rugs are woven by nomads in the villages and remote mountainous regions of the major rug weaving districts across the world. All of our rugs are genuinely old and one-of-a-kind. Like anything old and unique, they are filled with character, soul, and story. The story of a rug is something we think about a lot; who was the weaver(s)? Did they weave it for personal use, commerce, to gift, or trade? Who was the second owner, and the third!? Sometimes the little motifs and symbols in rugs can help tell the story, but we will never truly know - there's something beautiful about that. Alas, our joy is to curate these incredible pieces that speak to us, and to pass them along to their new owners to be enjoyed and cherished for many years to come; both continuing to add to the story of the rug, and to the story of the new owners.
