Kilim Karabakh Caucasus 228 X 146 Cm

Caucasian wool kilim, cotton weft, 1950-60. Very good state.

Karabakh is a region located in the southwest of Caucasian Azerbaijan. Karabakh designs are varied. One can find patterns of roses (göl farangi, like this one, or geometric patterns. Karabagh can be translated as "black garden". Karabaghs are also made with knotted stitches. The best Karabagh achievements were most often Kurdish and Armenian stock. Which is probably the case with this (Armenian) kilim.

A lot of freshness in this Karabakh kilim, both in its patterns (pinks) and its colors. We find the "göl farang" pattern * on the entire surface , surrounded by a border with a pattern of stylized bouquets. Fine workmanship.

*Göl farang: The influence comes from the Damascus rose whose rose pattern inspired Safavid carpets, which in turn influenced European tapestries. At the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, the göl farangi motif which means rose or flower of France is found in the East on carpets and kilims from Karabakh (Caucasus), on certain Iranian carpets such as bidjars and bakthiars from the village of Faradoumbeh , as well as on the s Moldavian Balkan kilims.
