About: Find another Shirvan/Kuba this finely woven, this old, in these colors and in this condition - AND with the Original Swastika motifs inside the border - you won't! This symbol originated fromt he EAST and was originally a Symbol of all Positive meanings; Harmony, Balance, Life, Conducive to Well-Being, Luck, and Prosperity, amongst many other things. It wasn't until the 1930's when the German's adopted the symbol for the Aryan race. Because this piece was woven well before the 1930's, it is clear that the intention of these motifs and symbols carry with them nothing but positivity, good Juju, and well-being / good luck with it. Intention is a VERY important aspect that of art that isn't always brought to the forefront, but always the Northstar when we select piecs for our collection. This is a collector's piece for sure.

This is what you think of when you think of a high-end collectible antique rug. This is the kind of piece that a rug enthusiast and rug collector gets excited to see - iconic designs in rare colors with exceptional quality and workmanship.

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.
