A Century of Nomadic Mastery
Acquiring a textile from Ariana Rugs is an investment in a 45-year lineage of connoisseurship. Serving the Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and global design communities for over 35 years, our founder—a third-generation rug authority—personally curates every piece. This Antique Verneh Storage Bag, dating to circa 1900, is a rare treasure of East Caucasian heritage, handled with the dignity and respect that only a true master of the loom can provide.
Polychrome Brocade & Geometric Precision
Originating from the East Caucasus, this Verneh bag is a striking example of the region's complex weaving traditions. It features polychrome brocaded registers —a technique that creates a raised, embroidery-like texture—adorned with rhythmic geometric devices . The composition is masterfully enclosed within three distinct borders, showcasing the weaver's structural discipline and artistic flair.
A Decorative Icon for Curated Walls
Measuring approximately 3'x4' (actual dimensions 3'5" x 2'6"), this storage bag has transcended its nomadic utility to become a unique work of wall art. At Ariana Rugs, we view the Verneh as a premier architectural accent:
-
Textural Depth: The Soumak-style brocading and original tassels provide a tactile luxury that anchors a modern room.
-
Historical Soul: A 125-year-old artifact that brings a sense of "provenance" and narrative to a luxury study or gallery.
-
Organic Palette: Vibrant yet sophisticated natural dyes that have developed a soft, authentic patina over a century.
