Retail value: $8,800.00 The district of Shirvan produced many highly decorative antique rugs that have complexity that is found in few rugs from the Caucasus. Shirvan, which is part of modern-day Azerbaijan, was populated by Azeri Turks and some Armenians, who were expert dyers and weavers. Grand symbol-filled medallions with polychrome accents are featured prominently as are all-over Afshan patterns, which are a sort of angular arabesque filled with dramatic harshang palmettes. Stunning all-over patterns featuring symbolic devices and a latticework of angular floral sprigs are also used. Fine prayer rugs with angular mihrabs are made in the area as well. Rugs from the Shirvan region include those produced in Marasali, Bakuand other local cities and villages with the largest carpets coming from Baku. Regardless of the format or the patterns featured, antique Shirvan carpets are full of strong colors, powerful symbols and subtle details that add to their stylistic richness. The significant unusuality is the difference of the colors in one end of the rug.ABOUT ELI PEER ORIENTAL RUGS Our Service Pledge We respond to all orders within 24 hours, we guarantee the authenticity of all our items About Us The home of Eli Peer Oriental Rugs is Evanston, Illinois, the academic center on Chicago’s North Shore.
