Product Description
Shirvan Rugs: A Tapestry of Tradition and Elegance
Shirvan rugs, handcrafted in the Shirvan region of Azerbaijan within the southeastern Caucasus, embody a captivating blend of cultural heritage and contemporary aesthetics. Let’s explore the allure of Shirvan rugs and their unique characteristics.
Craftsmanship and Material
- Meticulous Weaving: Skilled artisans meticulously create Shirvan rugs, ensuring attention to detail and quality. Their expertise reflects centuries of tradition.
- Wool and Cotton: These rugs predominantly feature all-wool construction, although some may incorporate cotton wefts and edges.
Geometric Designs
- Small Sizes: Most Shirvans are found in small dimensions, with examples from the southern part of the area around Saliani often taking the form of long, narrow runners.
- Field Patterns: Geometric field designs and borders dominate Shirvan rugs. Their simplicity and symmetry evoke timeless elegance.
Influence and Prayer Rugs
- Baku Exception: A group of rugs woven near Baku stands out, but the majority of Shirvans are found elsewhere.
- Maraza Prayer Rugs: The area around Maraza has produced notable prayer rugs, featuring boteh (leaf-shaped) figures on a blue field.
Versatility and Beauty
- Functional and Decorative: Shirvan rugs serve both functional and decorative purposes. They anchor living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways.
- Fine Craftsmanship: While not as finely woven as Kuba district rugs, Shirvans exhibit superior quality compared to Kazakh-type rugs from western Azerbaijan.
Whether you seek a conversation starter or a cozy accent, Shirvan rugs invite you to embrace tradition while adding a touch of elegance to your home. Explore their woven poetry and let them grace your living spaces.
