Karachopf rugs are among the most desirable Caucasian rugs. The vibrant reds, blues, greens and ivories that decorate this beautiful antique Karachopf carpet are all representative of 19th century, Caucasian weaving. Its geometric design is in line with the finest of Caucasians, while the composition is characterized by a series of stacked rectangular bodies, with a central square amongst larger rectangles. The octagonal medallion is replete with traditionally Caucasian design elements, and tribal motifs appear throughout the carpet, ranging from the blue outer border elements to the geometric patterns of the inner red field.
