We have a wonderful collection of vintage Karabagh rugs in our showroom. According to Doris Leslie Blau.com, "Since the eleventh century, inhabitants of the Caucasus have produced knotted
pile rugs. Karabagh, situated in the south of this mountainous land between the
Black and Caspian Seas, bordered by Turkey and Iran, has always been a veritable
melting pot of religion and culture. Decorative ideas and motifs appropriated
from many different societies include those of Persia, Russia, Mongolia, Turkey
and Arab origins. The most unusual of antique Karabagh carpets are rose
patterned, clearly created in response to Western taste, utilizing geometric
pink and red flowers, bouquets arranged in garlands with swags, on grounds of
dark blue or black. These ebullient and theatrical antique Karabagh rugs are
frequently formatted as long narrow kellehs, gallery carpets or wide runners.
Charming Armenian inscriptions, indicating both the weaver and date of
completion of the piece, are often displayed in antique Karabagh rugs, carpets
and kellehs (wide runners)."
