Antique Signed Caucasian Silk Rug, Art Deco Tribal Design, 1920
A superb signed antique Caucasian silk rug from the Art Deco period, circa 1920, finely hand-knotted with remarkable precision and jewel-toned vegetable dyes. Woven entirely by hand, this high-quality silk carpet displays exceptional finesse, crisp drawing, and the distinctive tribal sensibility characteristic of early 20th-century Caucasian weaving.
The design blends Art Deco era aesthetics—geometry, symmetry, and stylized botanical forms—with traditional Caucasian tribal motifs that trace their lineage back to classical weaving traditions of the 18th and 19th centuries. The rug’s refined patterning, intricate borders, and vivid palette of terracotta, deep blues, ivory, and golden tones highlight the weaver’s mastery and the extraordinary detail achievable with fine silk knotting.
This is an authentic tribal textile, created during a transitional moment when ancient tribal traditions intersected with modern Art Deco influences. Signing the rug further suggests workshop pride and a higher-grade production typical of special commissions or gifted pieces.
The rug survives in excellent antique condition, with only minor age-appropriate wear consistent with its materials and age. A rare collector's piece and an impressive decorative artwork—perfect for display on the floor or mounted on the wall as a textile tapestry.
Measures: 46 in. Wide × 68 1/4 in. Long
