Welcome to the Persian Carpet Gallery Website

CAUCASIAN

The Caucasian region is home to many different peoples, languages and traditions. There are remnants of over a hundred tribes and over three hundred recorded dialects.The designs of carpets from this region are almost entirely geometric, with stars, polygons and sometimes stylized Kufic writing. The rugs from this region can also be characterized by their use of strong, contrasting vividly hued colours, usually of reds, browns and greens.Caucasian rugs can be both simple and refined. The simple designs consist of box forms with rosettes and other stylized floral patterns such as tulips and lilies. Animals and people can also be represented in these types of rugs. The more refined rugs can utilize the same design concepts but vastly more intricately combined. Repeat or all-over designs have been stylized and perfected to machine like precision.
