Curator’s Note: A spirited Daghestan in an uncommon 3' x 5'–scale — a size rarely found in vintage examples — woven in lively color across 100% wool. Its compact proportions and playful palette make it both collectible and unusually versatile.
Origin Note: Daghestan rugs originate from the mountainous Caucasus region along the western shore of the Caspian Sea, where village and tribal weavers produced durable wool carpets for everyday domestic use. Known for their crisp geometry, lively color, and tight structure, these weavings reflect a blend of cultural influences from trade routes linking Persia, Anatolia, and Central Asia. Their compact formats and spirited designs were made to live with — layered, moved, and used — giving them the animated character collectors value today.
