Cabbage Rose Karabagh Kilim


This is a Kilim also called a Flatweave. It is a pileless rug. This is of a type and pattern that we see from Karabagh which is now Artsakh is an area held by the Armenians but is very much a disputed territory. At this point I think Artsakh as a country is only recognised by Armenia. Armenia has gained the reputation as the most corrupt country in the world. Artsakh is worse.
We see rugs similar to this from eastern Europe. They are called Bessarabian or Moldovian. The pattern is called "Cabbage Rose " in the trade.
