This is the general heading for all rugs made in the Caucasus mountains and in the trans-Caucasus areas, north of the Arax River, and between the Black and Caspian Seas. This includes rugs from the Kazak, Karabagh, Gendje, Koghan, Talish, Akstafa, Shirvan, Baku, Kuba and hesghi districts and the variants and subtypes thereof. The rugs are usually in scatter sizes and of all wool construction, with bold colors and geometric patterns, from the 18th through 20th centuries. Prices range widely depending on rarity, color, design and condition. A strong collector market exists for the better examples.
Caucasian - Talish
The classic Talish rug is generally oblong 4 x 8 with a plain blue ground and ivory rosette and dice border. They originate in a part of the southern Caucasus in the Talish steppe near the Persian border, close to the Persian Shah-Savan tribes. Other color and design layouts fill red or yellow fields with small stars or lattices. The best examples exude a calm and disciplined appeal, unlike most other more insistent Caucasian rugs and are highly collectible. less
