Description
Caucasian

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 - Bidjov

Bidjov is a town in the Kuba region of the Caucasus, north of Shirvan and west of the Caspian Sea. Bidjov rugs have the same structure as Zeichurs and often employ the running dog main border. By far the most popular design is an ascending array of stylish palmettes in tones of red, green, yellow, light blue and ivory, on an almost universal dark blue ground. The weave is light and think, and the foundation all wool. Black is very corrosive and with pile loss the rugs often look older than they really are. This inherent vice limits the number of Bidjous in good, original condition.
