Karabagh rugs are known for their exceptional quality and highly desired designs sought after by collectors and designers. Their designs and color schemes are closely related to Caucasian rugs with tribal geometric and large medallion patterns. Certain Karabagh rugs also resemble Persian designs and colors with flower ornaments and more traditional designs. Commonly stout and comparatively coarse, Karabagh rugs are all made of wool, are double wefted and have a higher pile than rugs found elsewhere in Caucasus.

This lovely antique Caucasian Karabagh carpet measures: 4.7 x 7.3 ft. and is dated 1909. There is some wear on a small portion in the center of the rug and there are 3 inches of frayed border on the right. See less
