This Finest Antique Gendje Rug, measuring 3'10" x 8', is a superb example of 19th-century Caucasian weaving from the culturally rich town of Gendje, nestled in the heart of the Caucasus Mountains. Renowned for its bold tribal aesthetics and deeply saturated natural dyes, Gendje rugs are celebrated for their distinctive elongated format and rhythmic, geometric designs. This piece reflects the artistic vitality of the region, which lies along the historic trade route between Baku and Tbilisi, a corridor of cultural exchange and craftsmanship.
Woven with hand-spun wool and vivid vegetal dyes, this rug showcases an authentic tribal character with clarity of design and a strong sense of movement. The narrow, corridor-friendly dimensions make it ideal for entryways, galleries, or layered over larger rugs for visual depth. In remarkable condition for its age, this Gendje rug is not only a functional textile but also a storied work of nomadic art—offering collectors a rare blend of history, quality, and style.
