Note: The art of carpet weaving in the Karabak, Shirvan territory is undoubtedly influenced by several objective factors, among them the geographical location of this region, at the joint of the east and the west. Here, along the greater Caucasus ridge, lies the borderline between Asia and Europe. Here is the historical juxtaposition point between Islamic and Christian cultures. Many long caravans passed through this territory over the centuries up until the middle of the 20th century. Charming and happy colors are some of the characteristics of Shirvan rugs.
