Old Chirvan carpet from the end of the 19th century in a state of discovery, in wool on wool, hand-knotted.
Three large cross-shaped medallions, bristling with hooks and stylized flowers.
The whole set on a cream field dotted with pyramids, surrounded by a large flower border and two counter-borders decorated with stylized Solomon stars and the zig-zag symbol of the continuity of life.
We can clearly feel the influence of the cross and a design in the shape of the sun for the medallions that we find on the Kazaks Tchelaberd or Kazaks with eagles The carpets prior to 1925 are defined in five groups: the Kazakhs, Karabakh or sjirvan (chirvan), kuba (kouba) and daghestani. Carpets from the Karabakh region often have soft patterns and are reminiscent of Persian rugs.
Apart from this classification, there are also Gandja, Silé and Verni rugs. These rugs are distinguished by their very varied and imaginative geometric patterns. We sometimes find, in stylized form, animal figures or geometric and architectural patterns.
Dimensions: width: 99 cm (3'3 ") x length: 153 cm (5 ')
