1800 Antique Shirvan Rug Fragment

Antique Shirvan Rug Fragment

Superb well-developed motifsthat simply cannot be found in later Shirvans from the 1900s

A number of inscriptions present.

This weaving must be seen as a work of art waiting to be framed and hung up on a wall.

For this beauty is in need of a savior.

The edges have been stitched in as a temporary repair - but some work still needs to be done to bring it back to all the glory that is still left in it.

This item has spent a lifetime being used for the purpose of its creation with the original artist/user. Signs of this life lived heartily may be present on the piece in the form of stains, thread loss, loose threads, holes, tears, color run and other imperfections. Therefore the condition must be assumed to be “not” perfect. More photos of such imperfections will be provided on request.
