Summary

The Shirvan rugs are being woven in Azerbaijan and are famous as the best Caucasian rugs. They have a thin and dense weaving with many small medallions near to each other with geometric motifs in the center of the rug. Stars, rhombi and small animals figures are some of the characteristic motifs of the Shirvan rugs. Main colour of the rugs is either red or blue, whereas the biggest bordure is usually white, in the natural colour of the wool.

Classic rugs: Rugs that are woven in urban centres in fixed workshops and looms(as opposed to nomads). Their designs are first done on paper by rug designers. These designs are strictly conducted by the weaver during the manufacturing. Even in these rugs, though there may be slight variations in weaving.

All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.

Horizontal or vertical shading in the rug pile: The shading is due to folding the rug during transportation. When the rug is laid and stepped-on they will vanish. Examples

Flat woven at one or both ends of the rug's width: In some rugs the nomads weave at fringes on a narrow Kilim one or both sides of the width, or they weave them artistically into small braids. It is a technique various weavers use for a greater durability or simply to demonstrate their skill. Examples
