Antique Gendje Rug

Period: Late 19th Century

Origin: Gendje, Caucasus

Dimensions: 163 x 203 cm

A striking example of Caucasian tribal weaving, this late 19th-century Gendje rug features a dynamic diagonal stripe design filled with polychrome square motifs in vivid shades of terracotta red, cobalt blue, saffron yellow, and deep brown. The central field is framed by a grand geometric lattice border with repeating diamond motifs and intricate outer guard bands, characteristic of authentic Gendje textile art.

Hand-spun wool dyed with natural pigments highlights the rich character and subtle abrash variations throughout the rug. Its compact proportions make it a versatile piece, ideal as a statement floor accent or an impressive wall hanging for collectors of rare antique textiles.
