Antique Caucasian Shirvan prayer rug with floral lattice on an ivory ground. 

Circa 1870 

A good early example of this well known group of prayer rugs with a very well drawn lattice containing flowering shrubs on an ivory ground. The rug is very well drawn with good colour and a spacious feel to the lattice that is associated with earlier examples. The multi coloured borders of traditional Shirvan designs frame the rug well. The rug is in good condition with slight even wear and medium pile there are a few scattered old repairs which are hard to detect. Hand washed and ready for use or display the rug would make a superb wall hanging.
