Bold Geometrics. Tribal Heritage. Lasting Beauty.

Handmade in the Caucasus Mountains, Caucasian rugs are prized for their rich symbolism, vivid colors, and centuries-old craftsmanship.

Explore the Artistry and History of Caucasian Rugs

Caucasian rugs hail from the Caucasus Mountains, a region that spans parts of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, and Russia. This mountainous crossroads has long been home to skilled artisans who have passed down their weaving techniques for generations. The result is one of the most celebrated and collectible rug styles in the world.

Known for their bold, tribal motifs, primary color palettes, and symbolic storytelling, Caucasian rugs are a true representation of Central Asian culture. These hand-knotted pieces are typically crafted in village settings using high-quality wool and all-natural dyes derived from plants, minerals, and insects. The combination of intricate patterns, earthy tones, and exceptional durability makes these rugs a favorite for both collectors and home decorators.

A Style That Speaks Across Cultures and Centuries

Each Caucasian rug is a tapestry of meaning, blending geometric precision with folk symbolism. You’ll often see hexagons, medallions, birds, boteh, flower heads, trees, and cloud motifs, woven together in striking harmony. Their designs reflect the influences of the Silk Road, merging visual traditions from Persia, Turkey, and beyond.

From Kazak and Shirvan to Kuba and Karachopf, Caucasian rugs come in a variety of regional styles, each with its own distinct look and story. These rugs typically come in smaller sizes, making them ideal for living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and transitional spaces like foyers or hallways.

Unmatched Craftsmanship, Timeless Appeal

What sets Caucasian rugs apart is their dense, hand-knotted construction and use of pure wool, yielding a plush yet resilient texture that can last for generations. Unlike mass-produced rugs, these heirloom-quality pieces retain their clarity and pattern over time and rarely shed or fray.

In addition to their beauty, Caucasian rugs are built to endure. Many antique pieces from the early 1900s remain in excellent condition today. Investing in a Caucasian rug means acquiring both an object of cultural significance and a piece that appreciates in value with age.

Whether you're furnishing a modern loft, a rustic study, or a traditional home, a Caucasian rug adds warmth, history, and soul to any space.
