Story Behind the Art:Shirvan rugs are among the most respected examples of Caucasian weaving, originating from the Shirvan region of present-day Azerbaijan. They are prized for their fine knotting, geometric precision, and strong symbolic language. Typical Shirvan rugs feature vertically aligned central medallions, often octagonal or star-shaped, set within a structured field. Caucasian rugs are distinguished by bold geometric designs and richly saturated natural dyes, where visual balance is achieved through strong color contrast rather than subtle shading. All Caucasian rugs are woven using the Turkish or Giordes knot and are classified as village rugs, with regional subtypes including Akstafa, Baku, Karabagh, Kazak, Kuba, and Shirvan.
