This antique Caucasian Gendje Kazak long rug dates from 1880 and comes in a wool construction. The piece displays multi-coloured vertical stripes filled with geometric polychrome boteh motifs in shades of red, navy blue, cream, and yellow, alongside an angular vine pattern and a light indigo blue border. Visible details include a medium to low pile with even wear and a few scattered old re-piled areas across the hand-washed surface. The rug measures 234 cm high, 118 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, offering a practical runner format for domestic placement. It is suitable for normal domestic use on the floor of a gentleman's library or hallway to add traditional character to the interior.

Originating from the South Caucasus region between the Black and Caspian Seas, Gendje rugs are traditional hand-knotted textiles recognised for their geometric designs, long narrow formats, and distinct vertical or diagonal stripe arrangements. They frequently incorporate repeating tribal symbols, such as the boteh or geometric stars, rendered in bold polychrome hues.

Authentic nineteenth-century Caucasian rugs are woven using hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundation warps and wefts. The vibrant shades of red, blue, ochre, and green were created using organic, vegetable-derived dyes.

Authentic antique Caucasian rugs feature all-wool construction, hand-bound selvedges, and subtle colour variations known as abrash caused by hand-dyed wool batches. Geometric design asymmetry and hand-knotted fringe edges on the ends are key identifiers of authentic 19th-century tribal weaving.

Long rugs and runners function effectively in corridors, entryways, or alongside beds on polished timber or stone floors. Their strong geometric motifs and rich colour palettes introduce architectural structure and visual warmth to both contemporary and period interior schemes.

Regular care requires gentle vacuuming using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling the wool pile. A quality rug underlay pad should be placed beneath the rug to prevent slipping and reduce wear, while professional specialist cleaning is recommended for deep dirt removal.
