An ivory border featuring geometric floral motifs is framed by two counter-borders. ‘The term “Chirvan” refers both to a type of carpet and to a region where a great many carpets are produced. It is, in fact, 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 towns (Kuba, Dagestan, etc.) as well as in villages (Tchi tchi, Lesghi, Seikour, Pérépédil, etc.) Bibliographical reference: SABAHI, T – Splendeurs des tapis d’Orient, Ed. Atlas, Paris 1987, pp. 285–286 and p. 293 Signs of wear, fraying, damaged selvedges and likely reduced in size
