17th Century Caucasian Rug

Seventeenth Century Caucasian

In the 17th century, Caucasian rugs were highly regarded for their vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and craftsmanship, reflecting the cultural diversity and artistic traditions of the region between the Caspian and Black Seas. This area, inhabited by various ethnic groups, produced a variety of rug styles, each with distinct characteristics.

Caucasian rugs are often distinguished by their geometric designs, which feature bold motifs, such as stars, diamonds, and stylised flowers. The colour palette typically includes deep reds, blues, and yellows, derived from natural dyes. These rugs were traditionally hand-woven by nomadic tribes and settled communities, often using a knotting technique that contributed to their durability.

During the 17th century, the trade of these rugs flourished, with them being sought after in both Europe and the Middle East. They were not only functional items but also served as symbols of status and wealth. Collectors and affluent households prized them for their aesthetic appeal and craftsmanship. Today, 17th-century Caucasian rugs are considered valuable antiques, cherished for their historical significance and artistry.
