Story behind the Art: Originating from the Caucasus Mountains of southwestern Asia, Caucasian rugs are celebrated for their bold geometric designs and striking color contrasts. Diamonds, crosses, lattices, and stripes are common motifs, often woven in vivid primary colors. Unlike rugs that rely on shading, Caucasian weavers achieve balance by juxtaposing highly contrasting hues. Hand-knotted with the Turkish (Giordes) knot, these village rugs are further categorized into regional subtypes, including Kazak, Karabagh, Kuba, Shirvan, Baku, and Akstafa. Their tribal aesthetic and vibrant energy make them versatile for both traditional and modern décor.
