Description from the seller
Derbent, Russia
Hand-knotted Oriental rug runner in wool, with three central medallions, on a red and beige background and with floral borders.
Sold with its certificate of authenticity.
Derbent (Derbent rug): hand-knotted rugs with geometric motifs that are made in the city of Derbent and its surroundings, in Dagestan, in the northeast Caucasus. Rugs made before 1925 are distinguished from others by a pile often longer, fewer colors as well as by a looser and larger knot.
When one speaks of Caucasian rugs, one refers to rugs originating from regions located to the south, east and north of the Caucasus mountain range. Rugs before 1925 are classified into five groups: Kazakh, Karabakh, Shirvan, Kuba and Dagestani rugs. Karabakh region rugs often have soft motifs and resemble Persian rugs. Beyond this classification, there are also Gandja, Sile and Verni rugs. These rugs are distinguished by their very varied and imaginative geometric patterns. Sometimes, in stylized form, figures of animals or motifs appear. The older Caucasian rugs are made from hand-spun wool for their warp, weft and pile. 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.
