Vintage Caucasian Verneh Rug, 150 × 225 cm / 4.9 x 7.4 ft Rug, Handmade Wool Flatweave

A distinctive vintage handmade Caucasian Verneh rug, woven from wool and characterized by its restrained geometric composition, layered borders, and beautifully softened color palette. Measuring 150 × 225 cm (4.9 × 7.4 ft), this approximately 60-year-old textile has an understated, almost contemporary appearance while remaining rooted in traditional Caucasian weaving.

The central field features a subtle checked and striped arrangement in muted red, dusty green, gray, and brown tones. Rather than relying on a large central medallion, the design is organized through repeated linear structures and rectangular divisions.

Several surrounding borders introduce interlocking diamond and lattice motifs, worked in ivory, orange, burgundy, muted green, and dark brown. These geometric bands create depth around the quieter central field and give the piece a distinctive architectural character.

About Verneh Weaving

The term Verneh (also written Verni or Verne) refers to a traditional type of Caucasian flatwoven textile, rather than the name of a specific tribe. Verneh textiles are associated with weaving traditions of the Caucasus and are appreciated for their geometric structures, decorative borders, and distinctive flatwoven character.

Many Verneh pieces are recognized for intricate ornamentation, but examples can vary considerably depending on the individual weaver and local tradition. This piece is especially interesting because its design is comparatively restrained, using large open areas, checked coloration, and repeated lattice borders rather than an extremely dense composition.

Its defining characteristics include:

• Traditional Caucasian Verneh weaving character
• Subtle checked central field
• Repeating diamond and lattice borders
• Muted red and green color palette
• Strong geometric organization
• Handmade wool construction
• Flatwoven textile character
• Naturally softened vintage surface
