Karabagh Kilim 1407

An early 20th century Caucasian Karabagh handwoven kilim rug of exceptional vitality and color. This room-size flatwoven rug features a truly bright and beautiful floral pattern set against a brilliant red field — the lively floral design bursting with an energetic palette of bright red, lush green, classic ivory, deep black, soft pink, and sunny yellow that creates a visually stunning surface of remarkable warmth and character.

The entire composition is elegantly framed by a khaki-colored border adorned with charming small geometric designs, providing a subtle yet refined contrast that grounds the exuberant central field. The Karabagh region of the southern Caucasus — a mountainous territory of extraordinary cultural richness shared between Armenia and Azerbaijan — produced some of the most vibrantly colored and boldly designed rugs and kilims in the Caucasian weaving tradition. Karabagh weavers were renowned above all for their use of intense, saturated natural dye colors, their exuberant floral compositions — often compared to French Impressionist paintings — and the sheer visual energy that defines the finest pieces from this celebrated region.
