FAQs

Chelaberd Kazak rugs, originating from the southwestern Caucasus, are renowned for their distinctive radiating medallion motifs often referred to as Eagle or Sunburst designs. Hand-woven by tribal weavers in the late nineteenth century, these rugs feature bold geometric patterns and vibrant vegetable-dyed wools.

Traditional Caucasian rugs were hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation. The yarn was dyed using natural botanical and mineral sources, such as madder root for deep reds and indigo for shades of blue.

Authentic antique Kazak rugs display hand-tied symmetrical knots on a wool warp and weft, resulting in a flexible, textured reverse. Key indicators include subtle variations in dye shades known as abrash, tribal geometric motifs, and thick wool pile with natural age-related softening.

An antique Caucasian rug brings warmth and graphic structure to modern spaces, pairing effectively with minimalist furniture or layered within contemporary eclectic schemes. Placing the rug on neutral floorboards creates a grounded focal point that anchors the surrounding decor.

To preserve an antique wool rug, vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotary brush to protect the fibres. Rotate the piece periodically to ensure even wear and light exposure, and utilise a quality rug underlay to prevent slipping and fibre crushing.
