Antique Caucasian Rugs Offer a Variety of Design Styles in Hall
The Caucasian tribal rug-making tradition begot at least 85 different sub-groups whose motifs range from bold heraldic medallions to petit point, delicately designed fields of geometricized flowers. Displayed on the wall, a playful 19th-century Caucasian rug from Gendje district with its allover field design provides a color and pattern contrast to the blue ground Erivan rug with its three medallion format on the floor.
