Caucasus Seikour Rug From The XIX Century.

Beautiful Caucasian carpet of Seikur origin. Photograph before restoration. Term for Caucasian carpets easily recognizable by the density of their knotting as well as by their special colours and patterns. In the Caucasus, the craft industry is very old. In the 17th century, the weavers of this region made "rustic" versions of Persian workshop carpets, but from the end of the 18th century, Caucasian carpets are characterised by a production specific to each tribe, by their angular and geometrical pattern with bright colours. Carpet in the course of restoration, we guarantee it in very good condition for a carpet of the 19th century after our intervention. One of the essential objectives of the art of the carpet is to create a harmony between shapes and colours. Even a relatively simple work requires skills that only a few people possess. For the colours, the weavers used the service of the professional dyer, who was very skilful at reproducing the diversity and subtle changes of colour for the oldest pieces. Today, attempts have almost always failed. The tradition of the secret of the master dyers had its advantages as long as the young people went to their school, but when they failed, it was the last generation that possessed its secrets.
