This Caucasian Talish runner rug originates from the Talish region of Azerbaijan around 1900. The hand-woven wool piece displays a geometric design featuring star medallions and geometric octagons set against a deep indigo blue field, complemented by an ivory border, multi-band border, and stylised symbols in secondary colours of red, green, and blue, complete with original fringes and secure selvedges showing light age-related wear and slight corrosion to the brown wool details. The runner measures 297 cm high, 122 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. It suits placement as a floor covering in a hallway, bedroom, or living area to bring traditional English Country House style to an interior.

FAQs

Talish rugs originate from the Talysh region in the southeastern Caucasus near the Caspian Sea. Produced predominantly during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by village weavers, these carpets are characterised by their elongated proportions, high-quality wool construction, and distinct geometric motifs.

These rugs were hand-knotted using locally sourced, hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation. The vibrant palette was achieved using natural organic dyes derived from madder root, indigo, plants, and insects.

Authentic pieces typically feature a narrow long-rug format, dark indigo fields, and specific geometric ornaments such as star medallions or octagonal panels. Examination of the reverse will show hand-bound selvedges, slight knot irregularities, and subtle colour variations known as abrash.

Long tribal rugs function exceptionally well in hallways, entryways, or narrow spaces where architectural grounding is required. Their rich palette and bold geometric geometry complement both traditional timber interiors and minimalist modern schemes.

Regular care requires gentle suction vacuuming without a rotating beater bar to protect the wool fibres. Periodically rotate the rug to ensure even wear, use a high-quality rug pad beneath, and seek professional hand-washing specialists for cleaning.
