Antique Caucasian Red & Blue Hand Woven Wool Karabagh Geometric Prayer Rug Mat

About the Item

Antique Hand Woven South Caucasian Red & Blue wool prayer rug from Karabagh, circa 1900-1920. Features a diamond geometric field with framed in alternating color # signs. 3'3" x 4'6" Caucasian rugs are native to the Caucasus region situated between the Black and Caspian Seas. Evidence suggests that Caucasian rugs have been woven in the Caucasus region since the early Bronze Age, corresponding to between 4500 and 2500 BC. The Encyclopedia of Rugs & Carpets by Maria Stolt tells us that Caucasian rugs would have arrived in Europe during the Middle Ages via the Silk Route, under the influence of Turkmen weavers. Caucasian rugs are an essential part of the Caucasian culture and have been passed down from one generation to the next since centuries. The Caucasus region has always been an area of cultural exchange between East and West, with a long history in rug weaving. Today Azerbaijan, Turkestan, and Armenia have become the main hubs of the Caucasian rugs where they are still handmade and made by local craftsmen. Georgian Caucasian rugs: The term "Caucasian rugs" is often used as the synonym for Georgian-style or Daghestani rugs since those two regions are the most prominent producers of Caucasian rugs. A particularly prized type of Caucasian rug is the Kuba weave. The weft floats over the entire length of the carpet (similar to Persian weaves). The colors are often vivid, as natural dyes were used.
