Story

This is a terrific fusion piece. In weave it is distinctly a Heriz district rug, with marked Karaja area technical characteristics. In art, we see the world famous 'Eagle' (Adler) design associated with the Caucasian village of Chelabert. Ottoman dealers called them Chelebi rugs, Germans used the term Adler, and the English preferred Eagle Karabagh.

However, research has shown that such rugs were woven in the village of Barjid, where Shahasavan clans settled in the aftermath of the Russo-Persian wars of 1801-1828. The village is in the far north of Heriz county, close to their ancestral homelands across the Aras (Araxes) River dividing modern Persia from its ancient borderland provinces of Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus.

Full, meaty pile with solid natural dyes.
Best of both worlds.
