Description

Talysh was once part of the Safavid province of Azerbaijan and is close to Lenkoran, about 40 miles north of the Iranian border. For centuries, Talysh was inhabited by Armenians and a cathedral was built there in AD 662 by Grigor Mamikonian. Talysh rugs should therefore be attributed to Armenian weavers.

The majority of Talysh rugs have a long, narrow format with a blue central field. This one is more unusual having a natural-dye pink-red ground containing a multitude of tiny stars throughout. The main ivory border is typical of the Talyish weavings and very few Talysh rugs incorporate the 'medachyl' blue outer border with a decorated ground. A rare aspect of this beautiful rug.

The rug is in excellent condition with an evenly-low cut pile.

Size: 2.30m x 1.04m (7' 6" x 3' 5").

This antique Caucasian corridor rug is a Talysh weaving from the South-East Caucasus, dating from 1880. Made from wool, the piece presents a long, narrow format dominated by a pink-red central field filled with numerous tiny star motifs. The rug is framed by a broad ivory rosette border, complemented by blue guard bands and detailed geometric borders featuring black and blue elements. The surface shows an evenly-low cut pile across the body, with fringed ends visible at the top and bottom margins. The rug measures 230 cm high and 104 cm wide. Placed in a home today, it functions as a floor runner suitable for hallways, corridors, or narrow living spaces, adding traditional pattern and textile warmth to an interior.

FAQs

Talysh rugs originate from the southeastern Caucasus region along the Caspian Sea coast. They are typically produced in long, narrow corridor formats featuring elongated central fields surrounded by wide, highly structured borders with star, rosette, or octagonal geometric motifs.

These rugs are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation. The rich colour palette is achieved using natural dyes derived from madder, indigo, plants, and mineral sources.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted wool construction on a wool warp and weft, often with visible abrash, which is a subtle variation in colour caused by different dye batches. Key features include distinctive wide main borders containing floral rosettes and long proportions tailored for corridors.

A Caucasian corridor rug introduces graphic structure and warm tones to hallways, entryways, or narrow galleries. It pairs well alongside polished hardwood, flagstone, or poured concrete flooring to bridge traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to avoid damaging the pile. Blot spills immediately with a clean dry cloth, use an underlay pad to prevent slippage and wear, and seek specialist cleaning services when necessary.
