Caucasus, a narrow strip of land between the Black and Caspian Seas, is not only home to towering mountains – it is a cradle of extraordinary Caucasian rugs, nowadays desired by antique carpet connoisseurs more than ever. Their uniqueness and exceptionality is made up of many components, the most important being probably Caucasian people’s deep spirituality and profound understanding of life.
The antique rug before your eyes is a marvelous example of Caucasian craftsmanship. The main field is covered in an allover, dense and dazzling pattern of diamond medallions within medallions that symbolize protection against the Evil Eye, and surrounded by a series of borders with further geometric motifs. The rich color palette is muted so that it maintains the vibrancy but evades gaudiness.
Next to the super chic, electrifying design, the antique rug can boast of impeccable execution. It was thoroughly hand-knotted of top-notch wool in centuries-old weaving techniques. If properly maintained, it will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear, just as it already has for over a century.
