An antique Caucasian Shirvan Distressed rug. A strongly serrated square floating niche arch with a super stylized enclosed palmette surrounds the sawtooth hexagonal lattice with a one-way mall flower pattern. The red main border displays the characteristic east Caucasian barred-S pattern. The rug has wear and needs a good stretching, but it is antique, authentic and totally in the shabby chic mode popular today.
