Description
This composition reflects weaving traditions associated with the southern Caucasus and northwestern Persia, regions renowned for their bold medallion structures and saturated reds. Rugs of this type were often woven for family use, intended to define space within the home while also carrying symbolic meaning.
The paired medallions are commonly interpreted as protective emblems or as markers of balance and duality—day and night, interior and exterior, past and future. The densely filled red ground speaks to a preference for abundance and vitality, while the repeated borders act as visual thresholds between the inner world of the rug and the space beyond it.
Hand-knotted with natural dyes and village-specific pattern language, such rugs embody a living tradition where design was memorized rather than drafted, allowing each weaver subtle freedom within a shared visual grammar.
