Flower Shirvan Rug

This is a rug that passed through my hands several years ago. It is a popular style made in Shirvan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Shirvan Rugs: Late 19th c. Flower Shirvan Rug I should have taken a better scan of the outer guard border when I had the rug. It is a flower blossom border commonly seen in Shirvan and Kuba rugs. In Oriental Rugs Volume 1 Caucasian page 206 and 207 Ian Bennett shows 3 Flower Shirvans. Each of the three have a similar outer guard. In is interesting to note that only one has a Wine Glass main border but that rug has the guard border closest to this one.
