KARABAKH CARPETS AND KILIMS
Karabakh carpets and kilims represent a beautiful example of the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of the Karabagh region. Throughout history, Karabakh has been influenced by different civilizations, and this diversity is reflected in the design of the region's carpets and kilims. Karabakh carpets and kilims offer a magnificent combination of carefully applied traditional weaving techniques and aesthetically captivating designs. These handmade creations are a reflection of the skills and artistic sensibilities of the masters. The weaving process begins with the careful selection of fine silk threads or thick wool. Weavers meticulously place each thread and then skillfully use colors to create patterns. Karabagh carpets often stand out with symmetrical and complex geometric designs. Each knot requires meticulous handwork, and this process demands years of training and experience from the masters.
Karabakh kilims, on the other hand, are woven with finer textures and are often adorned with colorful and floral patterns. The kilim weaving process is carried out using a special technique known as flat weaving. Weavers carefully place each thread and pay great attention to ensuring that each thread is in the right place. As a result, Karabagh kilims offer an elegant and sophisticated aesthetic.
Karabakh carpets and kilims create unique works of beauty by combining these carefully applied weaving techniques with the creativity of artists. Each piece reflects the traditions passed down through generations and the cultural heritage of the region while providing a visually enchanting experience. This weaving art is a treasure for those who honor Karabagh's rich history and craftsmanship and appreciate the aesthetic value of these beautiful creations.
