AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hand-knotted wool Oriental rug runner with three central medallions, on a red and beige background with floral borders.
Sold with its authenticity certificate.
Derbent (Derbent rug): hand-knotted rugs with geometric motifs made in the city of Derbent and surrounding areas, in Dagestan, in the northeast Caucasus. Rugs made before 1925 are distinguished from others by a pile often longer, by having fewer colors, and by a looser and larger knot.
When we speak of Caucasian rugs, we refer to rugs originating from the regions located to the south, east and north of the Caucasus mountain range. Rugs dating from before 1925 are divided into five groups: Kazakh, Karabakh, Shirvan, Kuba and Dagestani. Rugs from the Karabakh region often have gentle motifs and resemble Persian carpets. Besides this classification, there are also Gandja, Sile and Verni rugs. These carpets are distinguished by their highly varied and imaginative geometric patterns. Sometimes, in stylized form, animal figures or motifs can be found. The older Caucasian rugs are made from hand-spun wool for the warp, the weft, and the pile. The natural colors are as bright as they are durable. Thanks to good-quality wool and the Turkish knot, the rugs are durable and have a good reputation.
