Empty field Talish rugs are among the most sought after Caucasian typologies. In this fascinating example the weaver has found a way to create a pattern within the emptiness by subdividing the background in blocks of colour through varying shades of blue, interrupting the composition with a rosette that would normally decorate the border. The fluidity of the ornamental details together with the high quality of the dyes used allows us to date this rug to a period before the great commercialization of Caucasian rugs.
