Persian Bijar 7x13

Antique Russian Garabagh.
Caucasian rugs are woven by tribal weavers of the region south of Russia, near the Caucasus Mountains, between the Black and Caspian Seas. This area includes the countries of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. There are approximately 350 different tribes, speaking 150 different dialects in this area. Caucasian rugs, even though made by different weaving groups, still have very common characteristics. Some Caucasian styles include the Kazak, Garabagh, Gendje, Talish, Shirvan, Baku, Kuba and Daghestan. Persian, Anatolian, Turkoman and Chinese styles have influenced Caucasian rugs. This unique work of art has a geometric style adorned by three large medallions against a subtle beige background color. The unique dimensions of this antique Garagabh creates the area to display the beautiful use of vegetable dyes of the rug.
