FAQs

Caucasian rugs are hand-knotted textiles produced in the Caucasus region, historically incorporating distinct tribal motifs, bold geometric patterns, and vibrant natural dyes developed across various weaving communities.

These rugs are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile, warp, and weft, utilising symmetrical or asymmetrical knots and organic natural dyes derived from plants and minerals.

Authentic pieces feature wool foundations with natural variations in dye lots, hand-spun irregular yarns, characteristic tribal motifs like the Lesghi star, and wear consistent with age.

A patterned tribal rug can be used to ground contemporary furniture, adding texture and rich colour to minimalist spaces or complementing eclectic and traditional schemes.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.
