Karabagh rugs come from the historic Karabagh (also spelled Karabakh) region in the South Caucasus, which includes parts of present-day Azerbaijan and Armenia. These rugs have been made since the 1600s, reaching their peak in the 18th and 19th centuries under Persian and later Russian rule. Woven in towns like Shusha, Jabrayil, and Lachin, they are known for their dramatic color combinations—like black, coral, deep red, ivory, rose, olive, and blue—and bold floral designs that often feature curving lines. Karabagh rugs blend local tribal symbols with French and Persian influences, often resembling elegant French Aubusson and Savonnerie carpets. You’ll often see big roses, medallions, prayer arches, and stylized leaves in their designs. They may be woven using either Turkish (symmetrical) or Persian (asymmetrical) knots, depending on where and when they were made. Today, while antique Karabagh rugs are rare and highly collectible, similar designs are made in places like Romania, Pakistan, India, and Turkey. These newer versions stay true to the traditional patterns but use modern dyes and foundations, often crafted with high-quality wool to recreate the thick pile and soft shine of the originals. Whether antique or reproduced, Karabagh rugs are prized for their rich style, excellent craftsmanship, and ability to combine tribal roots with elegant European flair.
