Name/Title
Carpet Karabakh (1895/6)Description
Karabakh Carpet dated 1895/6. Armenian characters ԴԲՅ. This Armenian carpet from Karabakh/Artsakh dates to 1895/6. The oxidation of the brown dye is typical of rugs from this period, with some examples showing re-piling, while others are left as is, reflecting their age. The pattern is characteristic of the time, incorporating attempts to emulate European floral designs. However, due to the region’s traditional weaving techniques, the patterns retain a geometric quality, resulting in a unique blend of styles and craftsmanship. This synthesis of design reflects both local traditions and broader influences in the late 19th century.Category
