Tusheti (Tusheti) rugs:
Nestled in a remote mountainous region, the Tusheti tradition is distinguished by its wool rugs.
The patterns are bold and austere, the colors vibrant.
The craftswomen use exclusively natural dyes extracted from local plants.
The design, typical of the Caucasus, draws heavily on motifs from the closely related Anatolian rugs.
Designs that are decidedly modern and yet seem to come from the mists of time.
Three medallions with sharp points and the outline of a fourth unfold across an orange field.
There are also numerous motifs—often of a familial, ethnic, or tribal nature—featured on either side:
stylized tarantulas, trees of life, horses, deer, and a border of oak leaves....
The variations in wool and colors reveal the rustic charm of this rug, knotted by women for trade or personal use.
These rural rugs, knotted by village women, are always full of imagination and vibrancy.
The carefully spun wool is of very fine quality—soft and fine—and the patterns have been a constant feature since time immemorial.
In this design, the Caucasian character is clearly evident—star-shaped medallions, the central field, and the borders—conveyed with sincerity and innocence.
The rug is in very good condition; the wool is thick and soft,
and the selvedges are also in very good condition.
Shades of red and orange-red blend with beige, brown, and black.
Overall, it is a beautiful, high-quality ethnic rug.
This piece exudes great cheerfulness, thanks to its vibrant colors.
Each stylized flower, arranged in succession, also alternates the color of its petals—shifting from yellow to orange, to orange and yellow, blue, and pink—all designed to ensure the objects, stars, and flowers that make up this marvelous piece are clearly visible. The rug is in very good condition.
This rug has been professionally cleaned using eco-friendly methods.
Dimensions: Width: 123 cm (48") x Length: 303 cm (119")
They raise the Tushetian sheep, renowned for its thick and extremely durable wool, perfect for making felt, warm clothing, and rugs.

- The Dowry: In the past, weaving a rug was an essential step in a young woman’s life.
- According to local custom, a woman could not marry if she did not know how to weave rugs or if her wedding trousseau did not include one.
- An Art Passed Down: The intricate techniques and patterns are passed down from generation to generation, often from grandmothers to young girls, right there at the vertical loom.
