Antique Karabakh Caucasian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Paisley Design BB7074 7'5" × 12'2" $14,000

This antique hand-knotted wool Karabakh rug comes from the Caucasus, reflecting a weaving tradition admired for its decorative clarity and animated floral ornament. Its allover composition and narrow border give the piece the structure of a classic room carpet, while the lively pattern keeps it visually active and richly layered.

The rug is set against a deep black field, over which warm tan scrolls form a trellis-like framework filled with small blossoms, paisley shapes, and botanical accents. Brick red, olive green, ivory, and soft touches of pale blue add depth without disturbing the balance of the design, allowing the larger scrolling forms to read clearly from across the room.

Rather than a single medallion, the pattern unfolds in a continuous repeat, creating the sense of a densely planted garden in motion. That combination of contrast, rhythm, and ornament gives the Karabakh rug a distinctive presence, making it well suited to interiors that call for an antique Caucasian rug with warmth, texture, and enduring decorative appeal.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
