Caucasian rugs have the distinction as being extremely prized by both interior designers and collectors. Only Turkmen rugs have as much energy put into their classifications and dating. The Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia, Southern Russia, and Azerbaijan) have long been a bridge for armies and cultures. Located between the 3 empires of Persia, Russia, and Turkey, it has traditionally been a place of conflict and cultural diffusion. This is illustrated in the designs of the rugs.

Caucasian rugs are known for bold, colorful, geometric and tribal designs. Main carpets are very rare , but not unknown. Certain Caucasian tribes are also revered for their Kilims and Jajims.

Notable regions include Moghan, Gendje, Shirvan, Baku, Daghestan, Lesghi, Talish, Zejwa, Karabagh, Bordjalou, Shulavar, Karachoff, Seishour, Perpedil, Karaghashli, Khonaghend ,and Akstafa.
