FAQs

A Caucasian Lesghi rug is a hand-knotted tribal textile originating from the Lesghi people of the Dagestan region in the North Caucasus. These rugs are historically distinguished by their bold geometric design, centered around multi-pointed star medallions known as Lesghi stars.

Traditionally, these rugs are woven entirely from hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and the foundation. The wool is dyed using organic, plant-based, and mineral dyes, producing saturated shades of red, blue, cream, and brown.

Authentic antique Lesghi rugs feature signature geometric star motifs, a wool warp and weft, and slight asymmetrical variations in weave typical of nomadic loom production. Natural dye abrash, which creates subtle tonal shifts across the pile, is another key indicator of age and hand craftsmanship.

A geometric Caucasian rug serves as a strong focal point when placed on light wooden floorboards or polished concrete. It can be layered over larger neutral sisal rugs or integrated into minimalist, boho, and traditional interiors to introduce color, pattern, and texture.

Maintain an antique wool rug by vacuuming gently using suction only, avoiding harsh beaters that can snag fibres. Use a quality rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and wear, rotate the piece periodically to distribute foot traffic, and consult a professional specialist for deep cleaning.
