A popular choice of floor coverings, Caucasian rugs are so named for the region in which they were originally produced, in the Caucasus Mountains and surrounding regions. This region is hemmed in by the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, Russia, Turkey and Iran. The area produces quite distinctive rugs, dating back to the 18th century, if not earlier. Typically, Caucasian rugs are rustic in nature, featuring striking geometric designs and bold primary colors. Until the advent of synthetic dyes, Caucasian rugs owed their color exclusively to vegetable dyes. Regardless of the type of Caucasian rug you might have, the rug cleaning and maintenance experts at Oriental Rug Care NY are knowledgeable of the techniques and methods needed to help keep your rug looking beautiful.
