Antique Shirvan Floor Cushion 79x59cm

A Fragment of History: 19th-Century Shirvan & Kurdish Jijim Luxury Cushion

Why settle for a mass-produced accessory when you can own a curated piece of 19th-century history? This bespoke cushion is a masterclass in textile assembly, featuring a rare Shirvan fragment from the second half of the 1800s. It is a one-of-a-kind bridge between ancient Caucasian artistry and modern interior elegance.

The Face: A Caucasian Masterpiece

The front of the cushion showcases the legendary precision of Shirvan weaving.

• The Design: A striking central medallion anchored on a deep, midnight blue ground.

• The Charm: The field is alive with whimsical tribal motifs and stylized animals, a hallmark of 19th-century nomadic life that lends a playful yet sophisticated character to the piece.

• The Frame: A crisp cream border provides a brilliant contrast, allowing the vibrant blue and intricate motifs to “pop” against any sofa or chair.

The Reverse: Antique Kurdish Harmony

The attention to detail continues on the back, which is crafted from an antique Kurdish Jijim.

• Unlike standard plain backings, this authentic flat-weave offers soft, harmonious colors that complement the boldness of the Shirvan face.

• The Jijim texture provides a rugged, tactile contrast to the fine weave of the front, making this cushion beautiful from every angle.

Why This Piece is Special:

• True Antique: The Shirvan fragment dates back to circa 1850–1890.

• Dual-Heritage: A rare combination of Caucasian (Shirvan) and Kurdish (Jijim) tribal textiles.

• One-of-a-Kind: Because these are made from antique fragments, no two cushions can ever be identical.

• The Detail: Perfect for the collector who appreciates the “hidden stories” within tribal animal motifs.
