Story behind the Art: Caucasian rugs, named after the region of their origin in the Caucasus Mountains of southwestern Asia, are renowned for their bold patterns, vibrant colors, and versatility in complementing various home décors. These rugs are particularly known for their striking geometric and tribal designs, often rendered in primary colors. Common geometric shapes include diamonds, squares, lattices, crosses, and stripes, creating dynamic and eye-catching patterns. What sets Caucasian rugs apart is their emphasis on rich, contrasting colors, a departure from the more traditional use of similar hues. This contrast creates a visual balance that is both striking and unique. Woven using the Turkish or Giordes knot, Caucasian rugs are considered village rugs, often crafted by local artisans. They are classified into various subtypes based on their region of origin, including Akstafa, Baku, Aghestan, Karabagh, Kazak, Kuba, and Shirvan, each showcasing its own distinct style and cultural influence.
