The Talisman Medallion
type: Product
description: Woven in the Caucasus region during the late 19th century, this antique Shirvan rug is a striking study in tribal geometry and masterful color work. The composition is anchored by a commanding, stepped central medallion, set against a deeply saturated indigo field that highlights the precise, symmetrical motifs within. A close examination reveals a mesmerizing and deliberate symbolic vocabulary. Eight-pointed stars—ancient emblems of cosmic order—are meticulously arranged alongside stylized bird and gazelle motifs, capturing the vitality of the natural world. The main borders tightly frame the piece with repeating diamond geometries, while the delicate outer guards feature an undulating "S" motif, a traditional homage to running water. The palette is exceptionally grounded, balancing the depths of midnight blue and warm madder red with ivory and arresting accents of moody verdigris. It is a highly structural, architectural textile that brings immense character, rich history, and a sense of quiet wonder to a curated space.
