Story behind the Art: Caucasian rugs are admired for their striking color combinations and bold patterning, making them highly versatile pieces that complement a wide range of home décor styles. They take their name from their place of origin—the Caucasus Mountain region of southwestern Asia. These rugs are especially recognized for their strong geometric and tribal designs, often executed in vivid primary colors. Common design elements include diamonds, squares, lattices, crosses, and linear striping, arranged in clear, graphic compositions. What truly sets Caucasian carpets apart is their fearless use of color; instead of relying on subtle shading within similar tones, visual harmony is created through the deliberate contrast of distinctly different hues. All Caucasian rugs are woven using the Turkish, or Ghiordes, knot and are classified as village rugs, reflecting their deep-rooted tribal origins. They are further categorized into specific subtypes based on their regional provenance, including Akstafa, Baku, Aghestan, Karabagh, Kazak, Kuba, and Shirvan, each with its own recognizable stylistic characteristics.
