Description
A very rare small and narrow size antique Genje (Gendje) rug, coming from the town of the same name in the Caucasus Mountains. The main design in the centre are patterns of stripes found in rugs of the Shirvan and Daghestan districts. As they are several centuries old, they may be derived from Armenian patterns, to which they show kinship. Both patterns are at times reversed as the result of copying. Genje weavings are famous for their stripe design, which we can see in the centre, often used in brilliant colours in the minor borders too. The dyes are extremely gentle and muted due to the age of this piece.
Woven with stunning colours from around 1890, the condition of the rug is fairly good. Woven with a soft wool, it has had some old restoration but in general they have been done well. Please view all the additional images of this beautiful rug.
The name Gendje also refers to the mountainous area surrounding the town. West of the Caspian Sea with the Black and Caspian Seas to the East and West, Gendje is situated on the main road connecting Tbilisi (Bilisi), the capital of Georgia and Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. Gendje is situated between other famous Caucasian weaving areas of Shirvan and Kazak which made it a centre for trading and marketing these tribal rugs.
