Antique Caucasian Rug Schools

Studies of antique Caucasian rugs of the recent years, combined with ethnographic and historical research, led to a detailed classification of these unique artifacts of great importance.

Based of the study of materials, weaving techniques, patters and motifs, several schools of rugs have been distinguished :

1. Kuba school

2. Baku or Absheron school

3. Shirvan school

4. Genje school

5. Kazak school

6. Karabakh school

(you can ‘click’ on a selected school to find out more)

These schools of Caucasian rugs are defined by geography, weaving techniques, material including wool and dyes, design, pattern and principal features
