Chirvan Lesghi Rug (warp, weft, and pile of wool), Northeast Caucasus, circa 1950–1980. (Signs of wear, previous restorations, and fraying.) Length: 124 cm; Width: 97 cm The rug is adorned with a series of two blue and ivory cross-shaped medallions on a navy blue background featuring small polychrome geometric motifs. Three borders with geometric floral motifs frame the composition. The term “Chirvan” refers both to a type of carpet and to a region where a large number of carpets are produced. Indeed, it is a vast, mountainous region inhabited by a diverse population. It stretches from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea, forming a natural barrier between Europe and Asia. Shirvan carpets are knotted in cities (Kuba, Dagestan, etc.) as well as in villages (Tchi tchi, Lesghi, Seikour, Perépédil, etc.).
