Understanding Shirvan Rugs:
Shirvan rugs originate from the Shirvan region in the Caucasus, which is now part of Azerbaijan. These rugs are known for their distinctive geometric designs, often featuring:
Diamond-shaped patterns: These are a hallmark of Shirvan rugs, often arranged in a repeating pattern across the field.
Medallions: Central medallions, sometimes star-shaped or polygonal, are frequently used.
Intricate borders: The borders often feature geometric patterns that complement the main field design.
Natural dyes: Traditionally, Shirvan rugs were dyed with natural substances, resulting in rich, earthy tones.
Pakistani Shirvan Rugs
Pakistan has a long history of rug weaving, and Pakistani weavers have adapted and reinterpreted designs from various traditions, including Shirvan. When you see a "Pakistan Shirvan" rug, it generally means that the rug was woven in Pakistan but features designs inspired by the original Shirvan rugs from the Caucasus.
Characteristics of Pakistani Shirvan Rugs:
Wool construction: Pakistani rugs are often made with high-quality wool, known for its durability and luster.
Hand-knotted: Most fine Pakistani rugs are hand-knotted, a labor-intensive process that contributes to the rug's value and quality.
Geometric patterns: They typically retain the characteristic geometric patterns of traditional Shirvan rugs.
Variety of colors: While traditional Shirvan rugs often featured more muted tones, Pakistani versions may incorporate a wider range of colors.
