1459 SOLD Antique Peacock Animal Baku Azeri Pile Rug (Verneh Style)

Sold to a discerning Antique Art-Lover

***

A very rare antique, South Caucasian Peacock PILE Rug around 1900 – Verneh, Baku, Azerbaijan

Pieces with this pattern and structure are normally only found in so-called vernehs or shaddas and are made exclusively using the Kelim or Sumakh technique.

This piece is a knotted PILE RUG!

Though it is unlikely that this is the only Azeri Peacock Pile Rug ever made, it is certainly rare and I have yet to come across a comparable example.

Note the well developed borders around every cell in the matrix.

Also note that the birds / animals have detailed motifs on their bodies.

Circa 1900.

Flat tight, stiff weave.

Two smaller, brownish spots.

With short ends at both ends.

Very rare!188 x 133 cm (74.01 x 52.36 in)
