The Shikli rugs were woven towards the end of the nineteen century in northwest
Azerbaijan in the region of the village of Shikli. Their designs follow the tradition that
imposes a determined layout of motifs repeated in all the pieces, allowing us to
appreciate the variations in each one of them: in the colors, in the chosen filler
motifs, the way of representing them, and the inclusion of the unexpected. These
variants result from each weaver’s individual creativity while navigating the frame of
this idiosyncratic, time-honored and alluring design.
This rug has an intense palette, with markedly wider cypress trees, and an ‘infinite
tree of life’ as the medallion’s central motif. The main border is decorated with
small, stylized birds that we find in almost all the examples.
