Handmade Antique Caucasian Lori Pambak Rug 4.11' x 7.6' (150cm x 229cm), 1880s - 1N99 This exceptional antique Caucasian Lori Pambak rug from the 1880s is a commanding masterpiece of nomadic weaving. Woven over a century ago, it embodies the bold artistic spirit of the Caucasus region. Furthermore, its striking geometric composition and vibrant, contrasting colors are hallmarks of this celebrated style. Consequently, this rug is not merely a furnishing but a powerful and authentic declaration of tribal art. A Bold Geometric Composition The rug's design is anchored by a large, commanding central medallion set against a rich, deep red field. This primary form is powerfully flanked by two additional geometric medallions, creating a dynamic and balanced layout. Moreover, the entire field is populated with an array of smaller geometric symbols and ancient motifs. Each element is rendered with a clarity and confidence unique to Lori Pambak weavings. Vibrant Colors and Characteristic Border The color palette is both vibrant and harmonious, creating a stunning visual impact. The deep navy blue and crisp ivory motifs offer a dramatic contrast against the warm red background. Accents of a golden yellow hue add warmth and brilliance to the design. The main border features a classic and repeating "crab" or cross pattern. This distinctive motif is a definitive characteristic of rugs from this specific region. A Statement of History and Art For its considerable age, the rug remains in good, stable condition. It possesses a beautiful, overall patina and minor signs of wear that attest to its history and authenticity. The wool has retained its strength and vibrant character. Its impressive size and bold, timeless design make it a perfect statement piece for a living room, a grand study, or as a magnificent floor covering in an entryway.
