Design and Style

Medallion Pattern: The design features a large central medallion as the focal point, surrounded by a series of smaller, repeating geometric motifs. This is a traditional layout in many Oriental rug

Colours: The prominent colours are rich red, green, and ivory/beige, which are typical hues found in traditional and Caucasian carpets.


Motifs: The specific octagonal and geometric shapes, often referred to as gul motifs or similar tribal patterns, suggest a village or nomadic origin rather than a formal city workshop.

Material and Construction: Based on the visible pile and style, it is likely hand-knotted, traditionally made from woo, which is characteristic of authentic rugs.


Potential Origin


The combination of bold geometric patterns, a repeating medallion layout, and the specific colour palette is highly indicative of rugs from the Caucasus region such as a Kazak or Heriz/Serapi style.
