Perpedil (Perepedil) is an excellent carpet made in the village of Perpedil which is located in the Kuba region, near the coast of the Caspian Sea in modern-day Azerbaijan.

Perpedil rugs have a geometric design. They feature a row of rams’ horns (wurma) that extends over the carpet field alternating with palm tree flowers. The stylized ram’s horn conveys the idea of strength, fertility and vitality. Flowers, stars, stylized animals, birds and other ornaments are found around the row of horns and palm trees. The borders have the classic design of East Caucasian rugs such as tulips being the most common as well as other flowers, stars, flowers with vines, double E and S and the so-called kufic border.

The base of Perpedil rugs is made with wool warp, sometimes mixed with sheep’s wool. The weave is most often made of cotton. They usually have a high count of very fine knots, which allows artists to weave the designs in high definition. The pile height of the rug is short, making the design clearer. The fur is also shiny and firm to the touch. The symmetric knot is employed.

The main field of the carpet is navy blue, although pieces in ivory and red tones can also be found. Different shades of light blue, gold, green, brown and cinnamon are often used in the designs of geometric figures and in the elements that make up the borders.

The creative design, excellent quality and harmonious use of colors in Perpedil rugs means there is good demand for this work of art. They are considered valuable artistic possessions by collectors.
