Description

78779 Late 19th Century Antique Caucasian Chelaberd Karabagh Rug, 04'10 x 08'04.

In the mystical realm of the Caucasus, where whispers of ancient tales linger in the mountain breezes, there exists a treasure woven from dreams and heritage - behold the Chelaberd Karabagh rugs, also known as the enchanting Eagle Kazak or the radiant Sunburst Kazak rugs. Emerging from the fabled village of Chelaberd in the heart of the Karabakh region, these rugs weave a tapestry of history and wonder. Inspired by the illustrious 17th and 18th century Caucasian carpets adorned with the majestic dragons of lore, their designs have danced through time, evolving into mesmerizing forms of unparalleled beauty. Structurally rooted in the essence of Karabagh, their spirit resonates with the distant lands of Kazak, for both weavers draw upon the magic of thick yarn to bring their visions to life. Within the intricate borders of these ethereal creations, one may glimpse the graceful dance of "crab" garlands, whispers of sunbursts from the ancient Zoroastrian faith that once graced these lands. In the grand tapestry of the 19th century, Chelaberd carpets reign supreme with their celestial medallions, some adorned with two, three, or two and one-half cruciform sunbursts, while others boast the solitary majesty of the "Single Eagles," a testament to the singular brilliance woven into every thread.
