About the Item

Relying on ancient tribal motifs, geometric designs, and playful abstractions, Caucasian rugs are woven in tribal settings by either village or nomadic folk. Caucasian rugs are woven in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Southwest Russia by a multitude of cultures and tribes that employ distinct characteristics unique to their communities. Woven in the predominantly Armenian populated region of Karabagh, rugs from this region are highly prized by both collectors for their historical value and efficient workmanship as well as by decorators for their bold colors and design patterns. Due to the absence of spacious indoor areas to fit large horizontal looms, weavers in Karabagh we restricted to weaving either small rugs, runner rugs, or gallery carpets with a maximum width of 2 meters. Yet this phenomenon did not restrain them from weaving long rugs, with some rugs reaching as long as 7 meters. In the present example, one finds endless rows of palmettes in an "repeat-design" fashion spread onto a rich charcoal black field. The polychrome palmettes are ornated with floral elements in their interior. The border region is a rosette & vine leaf design of polychrome rosettes on a red backdrop. These elements combine to create a colorful carpet that seems elongated due to the "infinity-effect" created by the repeated designs.
