Russian Caucasian runner rug, Originating from the Caucasus region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

  • Origin: Caucasus region (likely Azerbaijan, Armenia, or Dagestan)  
  • Size: 3 feet 3 inches by 9 feet 10 inches (a typical runner size)
  • Material: Wool pile on a wool foundation (common for Caucasian rugs)  
  • Design: Characteristic Caucasian tribal design elements:
    • Strong geometric motifs, including stylized animals, "Memling guls" (octagonal medallions), and hooked motifs.
    • Bold, contrasting colors, with reds, blues, yellows, and ivories prominent.
    • Striking abrash (color variations within the same color), often seen in Caucasian rugs due to hand-spun wool and natural dyes.
  • Condition: The rug appears to be in good condition for its age, with vibrant colors and minimal wear visible in the image.

Potential Value Considerations:

  • Age: Caucasian rugs from the late 19th to early 20th century are highly valued.
  • Condition: Good condition with minimal wear and tear increases value.
  • Weave & Knot Density: Caucasian rugs are known for their durable construction and relatively high knot density.
  • Colors & Dyes: Use of natural dyes and the presence of abrash are desirable characteristics.  
  • Authenticity & Tribal Origin: Identifying the specific weaving group or tribe can add to its value.
