This antique Caucasian Akstafa long rug dates from 1880 and measures 124 cm by 295 cm. Hand-knotted from wool, the piece displays a navy blue ground decorated with large star medallions and stylized bird motifs, accompanied by geometric patterned borders. The visual palette includes navy blue, red, cream, and muted blue tones, enriched by latch hook details. Visible age and wear comprise thinning pile, holes, patches, missing ends, and areas where colour bleeding has occurred across the surface. Suited for an English Country House interior aesthetic, the rug works well placed as a decorative floor covering in a hallway, bedroom, or living space to add historical character to traditional schemes.

FAQs

Akstafa rugs are traditional Caucasian hand-knotted textiles originating from the southern Caucasus region, renowned for their long formats and stylized avian motifs.

These textiles are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, dyed using traditional plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic examples feature characteristic stylized bird motifs with geometric tail feathers, hand-bound selvedges, natural dye colour variations, and a flexible wool warp and weft.

A long oriental runner functions well in wide hallways, corridors, or placed alongside a bed to add geometric pattern, warmth, and texture to contemporary spaces.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush bar, spot clean spills with cold water and mild detergent, and place a supportive underlay beneath the carpet to prevent wear.
