Antique Caucasian Chajli Rug, Unusual Design Variations, Circa 1880.

19th century
Description

Size: 7ft 0in x 4ft 3in (213 x 129cm).

Antique Caucasian Chajli long rug with triple medallion design.

Circa 1880.

A good example of a Chajli rug, with the traditional three medallion design. This rug has some very unusual design variations; the medallions are normally octagonal, but we can see that the lower ivory medallion is a square. The inner guard border starts at the lower end of the rug but then suddenly stops in line with the top of the square medallion. Also, at the very top end of the rug is a panel in blue; the weaver obviously had a lot of fun weaving this rug.

The rug is in excellent condition with even wear and medium pile.

The rug is suitable for light domestic use.

The rug has been hand washed and is ready for use or display.

Stock Number: R-2720.

Date of Manufacture

Cotswold Oriental Rugs has dated this Antique Caucasian Chajli Rug to the 1880s.

This antique Caucasian Chajli rug dates from around 1880 and measures 213 cm high, 129 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. The hand-knotted wool piece is worked in natural dyes with a terracotta red field, accented by shades of cream, blue, brown, yellow, and green. A triple medallion design forms the centre, featuring unusual variations including a lower square ivory medallion rather than the traditional octagon, alongside a top blue panel and an inner guard border that stops abruptly. Further decorative details include geometric medallions, latch-hook motifs, tribal symbols, and multi-stripe patterned borders. The rug has even wear, a medium pile, and is hand-washed and ready for display. It is suited for light domestic use in spaces such as a gentleman's library or hallway, bringing rich colour and traditional craftsmanship to interior floors.

FAQs

Chajli rugs originate from the South Caucasus region, specifically associated with the Shirvan district, and are distinguished by their structured geometric compositions often featuring large octagonal or rectangular central medallions.

Traditional Caucasian rugs were hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation, coloured with natural vegetable and mineral dyes including madder for red and indigo for blue.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-bound selvedges, slight intentional asymmetry in the woven motifs known as floaters or abrash colour variations, and a soft, flexible wool warp and weft characteristic of tribal loom weaving.

The strong graphic patterns and rich palette of Caucasian carpets contrast effectively against modern minimalist furniture, dark timber flooring, or neutral upholstery in contemporary and eclectic settings.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug annually to ensure even exposure to foot traffic and sunlight, and consult a specialist rug restorer for professional washing.
