AKSTAFA KARABAGH ANTIQUE 5' 6" X 9' 4"

Striking in both color and composition, this antique Akstafa Karabagh Caucasian rug is a powerful example of the region’s celebrated geometric weaving tradition. Set against a deep indigo field, the design features a series of bold, shield-like medallions in rich madder red and warm ivory, arranged with a strong sense of rhythm and symmetry. Surrounding these central forms, an array of rosettes, small geometric devices, and stylized tribal motifs creates a surface full of movement and symbolic detail.

The palette is vibrant yet beautifully balanced, combining deep blue, brick red, ivory, soft camel, teal, and muted green. The contrast between the dark field and the lighter medallions gives the rug a dramatic architectural presence, while the finely rendered motifs add layers of visual interest.

A distinctive border of angular leaf forms and serrated geometric patterning frames the composition, reinforcing the rug’s graphic strength. The combination of bold scale, crisp drawing, and saturated color makes this piece especially compelling for interiors that embrace antique textiles with character and personality.

Handwoven by skilled artisans, this one-of-a-kind antique rug brings warmth, history, and artistry to a room. Its elongated format makes it well suited for a hallway, gallery, entry, library, or layered living space where its dynamic pattern can be fully appreciated.
