Derbent (Derbent rug): a handmade-knotted rug with geometric motifs produced in the city of Derbent and its surroundings, in Dagestan, in the northeast Caucasus. Rugs made before 1925 are distinguished from others by a longer pile, fewer colors, and by a looser, larger knotting.
When we speak of Caucasian rugs, we refer to rugs originating from regions located to the south, east, and north of the Caucasus mountain range. Rugs made before 1925 fall into five groups: Kazakh, Karabakh, Shirvan, Kuba, and Dagestani rugs. Rugs from the Karabakh region often feature soft motifs and resemble Persian carpets. Beyond this classification, there are also Gandja, Sile and Verni rugs. These rugs are distinguished by their highly varied and imaginative geometric motifs.
