These rugs are renowned for their unique geometric motifs, such as large diamonds and stylized animal figures, symbols deeply connected to the local culture, representing protection and prosperity.

Made entirely of wool, they use natural pigments extracted from plants and minerals, giving the colors vibrancy and durability over time. Each rug tells a story, reflecting myths, legends, and local beliefs, and was often considered a family treasure, passed down as a wedding gift or inheritance.

Owning a Karabakh rug means bringing a piece of history and culture into your home, enriching the space not only with elegance and sophistication but also with the deep connection to ancient and authentic artisanal traditions. less
