Antique Armenian Karabagh 'Bee' Kilim with Large Medallion Design, Circa 1900.

1900 - 1920
Description

Size: 12ft 8in x 6ft 9in (386 x 205cm).

Antique Armenian Karabagh region kilim of large medallion design.

Circa 1900.

A good example of a traditional Armenian kilim from the Karabagh region. The kilim is woven in soft pastel colours with a large scale double linked medallion design, on a dark indigo blue ground. The use of soft greens, yellows, blues and light pinks makes this a most attractive furnishing kilim. The traditional Armenian name for this kilim design translates to 'bee design', as the medallions contain stylised bee's gathering nectar from a flower.

The kilim is in excellent condition with very slight wear, I have detected a few very well done small old repairs.

The kilim is suitable for normal domestic use.

Stock Number: DS-1070.

FAQs

Karabagh kilims originate from the Karabagh region in the Southern Caucasus, a area historically renowned for its rich textile weaving traditions. Produced predominantly by Armenian and Azerbaijani weavers, these flat-woven carpets feature distinctive large geometric medallions, vibrant palettes, and stylized floral or faunal motifs influenced by regional heritage.

Traditional kilims are handwoven using locally sourced, hand-spun wool for both the warp and weft threads. They employ a slit-weave technique, where colour changes create deliberate vertical slits along pattern boundaries, resulting in a flat, pileless textile dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments.

Authentic antique Karabagh kilims can be identified by their flat-weave structure, soft handle, and natural dye variations known as abrash. They typically display prominent central geometric medallions, stylized insect or floral devices such as bee patterns, and multi-banded geometric borders.

A flatweave kilim adds texture and graphic interest when placed over hardwood flooring or layered atop a neutral wool carpet. Its geometric layout grounds living rooms, dining areas, or entrance halls, complementing both modern contemporary and traditional decorative schemes.

Vacuum the rug regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotary beater bar to prevent damage to the weave. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean, damp cloth, and use a high-quality rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and reduce fibre friction.
