"Tapis Derbent, Caucasus, Wool, 94 cm x 138 cm, circa 1950" Derbent rug from the Caucasus, made of wool on cotton, decorated with polylobed medallions, circa 1950. This carpet features three very crafted medallions in the center of a cream-coloured field, repeated on the sides of half medallions and closing four corners with the resumption of the same pattern. The bright colors, dominated by a shimmering purple on a cream background, bring out the whole pattern wonderfully. It is not uncommon to find in the manufactures of these countries very bright colors, purple, yellow, red, orange, blue that awaken the decorations of these carpets knotted or woven. The Derbent are native to the upper Dagestan, close to the Caspian Sea and remain emblematic carpets of the Russian Caucasus. The border followed by two stripes is decorated with large flowers with stylized corollas resembling tulips, the stripes are adorned with a curious pattern of three-toothed claws (wool comb?) finished with a carnation flower, or is it simply a flowery branch stylized, a pattern already seen on a Kouba rug from 1900. The finish of this carpet is made kilim style, the liveliness of the colors affixed to a short glossy wool of high quality, makes it a remarkable carpet and in perfect condition. This carpet has been professionally cleaned is environmentally friendly. Dimensions: width: 94 cm (37 in) x length: 138 cm (54.5 cm Free shipping to France.
