Karabagh Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

Rugs produced in the Karabagh region are varied and distinctive, sometimes they have garish palettes and bold designs, others are Kazak like in their colouring and motifs. This type belongs to the group with strong western influences. Almost certainly made with that market in mind they sometimes have Aubusson designs whilst others can be rows of kitsch roses picked out in bright reds and pinks. This one has the design drawn sideways which must have been a complex process, it shows griffins at each end with another two facing each other in the central panel. The colours are subdued which is probably good in such a bold design, the rug certainly has a very european feel to it. I think the narrow border gives space for the design to breathe. A highly unusual but very decorative rug.

Fair condition, the pile is low but acceptable. The rug bows outward at the bottom end due to its woollen foundation.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Karabagh rugs originate from the Southern Caucasus region, known for producing hand-knotted textiles featuring bold geometric patterns, botanical motifs, and saturated dyes. Heavily influenced by both Persian and Russian design traditions, these carpets frequently feature central medallions, floral sprays, and stylised animal figures.

These rugs are hand-knotted using locally sourced wool for both the pile and the warp and weft foundation. Natural dyes derived from plants, insects, and minerals historically provided the deep red, indigo, and ochre colour palettes.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-tied symmetrical or asymmetrical knots visible on the underside, slight variations in weave density, and natural abrash colour shifts throughout the pile. Additionally, the presence of wool warps and selvedges finished with hand-wrapped wool thread indicates traditional handcrafting.

An antique rug can serve as a focal anchor in a room, grounding modern minimalist furniture or complementing classic timber pieces. Layering the rug over neutral natural-fibre flooring or placing it in a hallway or study creates textural contrast.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush to protect the wool fibres. Spills should be blotted immediately with a dry cloth, and professional cleaning by a specialist rug restorer is recommended periodically.
