| Multi-medallion Caucasian Shirvan Early 20th Century. This Shirvan carpet is unusual for its muted colouring – dark red and blue are more traditional in Shirvans. Where touches of blue do occur here, howeverm they are the more striking for the contrast. The navy border frames the field, which the medium blue in the lower medallion is unusual and attractive. Both the blues harmonise well with the beige, light brown and orange of the rest of the carpet. The use of wool on wool is typical of Caucasian carpets generally and of Shirvans in particular. All the colours are vegetable dyes. The motifs used are characteristic of Caucasian carpets. The octagonal medallions are filled with crosses, while the surrounding field is busy with lesser floral, bird and animal motifs, which are all geometrical and highly stylised. The S-pattern also appears. The borders bear a repeat leaf and flower pattern in varying degrees of realism and abstraction. |
