Background-
This runner displays characteristics often found in rugs from the Caucasus region, which historically had strong design influences from neighboring Persia. The bold, angular geometric motifs, often featuring stylized animals, medallions, or totemic figures, are typical of Caucasian weaving. The color palette, dominated by deep blues, reds, and earthy tones with accents of lighter blues and greens, is also characteristic. These rugs were traditionally hand-knotted by various tribal groups, reflecting their unique cultural artistry. Runners like this were commonly used in hallways or as accent pieces in homes.
