19th Century Red and Blue Flower Wool Runner Karabagh Caucasian Rug, circa 1950

About the Item

In the Karabagh region (literally "black garden") located in the south-east of Kazak, in Armenia, for centuries the homonymous carpets are very varied in the types because they are strongly influenced by the manufacturing of neighboring populations. The weaving of carpets in Karabakh has developed thanks to the rich resources of raw materials (local wool and natural vegetable dyes) and to the ancient tradition of craftsmanship. Very often they are found in elongated measures such as our specimen which has a particular decoration with thick and repeated rosettes, certainly of Persian origin. The predominant color is the "cochineal red", which is a natural, very expensive dye, obtained from the homonymous insect, which secretes a very dense and intensely colored liquid, which uses as a shell to protect itself from predators.
