ANTIQUE CAUCASIAN SHIRVAN HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUG, 2'7'' x 6'7'': This Antique Shirvan has four serrated edge diamonds going up and down the black field. The diamonds are outlined in black or blue and a pale gold and red. The inner design consists of a star at one end with an arrow pointing down from it and wings of small triangles going out at an angle from the arrow. Half designs like the inner design fill up the rest of the field. There are a number of small guard borders and then the main border.
CONDITION: Unfortunately, there are some borders missing from both sides and the ends and the sides have been re-selvedged. Also, areas of wear are visible but this is still a vibrant rug for its age.
