Vintage Caucasian Azerbaijan Rug, 122 × 230 cm / 4 x 7.5 ft Handmade Wool Rug

A distinctive vintage handmade wool rug from the Caucasian Azerbaijan weaving tradition, featuring a powerful geometric composition, deeply aged colors, and the bold visual character associated with traditional Caucasian village carpets.

The central field is organized around four large geometric medallions arranged horizontally across a warm terracotta-brown ground. Each medallion contains smaller angular and symbolic forms, while a dark navy framework connects and surrounds the composition, giving the rug a strong architectural quality.

Several decorative borders frame the field with repeating diamonds, hooked motifs, small rosettes, geometric symbols, and abstract botanical forms. The naturally aged palette combines terracotta, dark navy, deep brown, muted green, black, ivory, ochre, and subtle burgundy accents.

Approximately 90 years old, the rug displays a beautifully softened surface, natural tonal variation, and the individual irregularities expected from an authentic handmade vintage textile.

About Caucasian Azerbaijan Rugs

Azerbaijan is one of the major historic carpet-weaving regions of the Caucasus, an area renowned for village rugs with strong geometry, vivid color relationships, and distinctive symbolic patterning.

Traditional Azerbaijani and broader Caucasian rugs are often characterized by:

• Bold geometric medallions
• Diamonds, hooks, stars, and angular symbols
• Strongly outlined compositions
• Multiple decorative borders
• Stylized floral and botanical motifs
• Rich combinations of red, blue, green, yellow, ivory, and earthy colors

Unlike finely drawn floral workshop carpets, many Caucasian village rugs have a more graphic and architectural appearance. Motifs are simplified into angular forms, creating strong visual rhythm and a distinctive folk-art character.

This example is especially appealing for its four-medallion composition, deep dark outlines, warm terracotta field, and densely patterned border system.
